Juneteenth PrayerWalk Saturday June 19th 10:00 am

Though Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, with an effective date of January 1, 1863, it had minimal immediate effect on most slaves’ day-to-day lives, particularly in Texas, which was almost entirely under Confederate control. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation DayCelebrates the day the last slaves in america were informed of thier feedom.
