Juneteenth: Not yet uhuru (free)
Even though, then-U.S. president Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 proclaiming, “That all persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free,” captured Africans remained in the forcible custody of white people in Texas until June 19, 1865.
Many Africans in the U.S. are preparing to celebrate Juneteenth, the holiday that remembers that day in 1865.
