Juneteenth Fact of the Day

The Journey of JuneteenthA year after the June 19 announcement, freepeople who wanted to celebrate the first anniversary faced expanding segregation laws. They were not permitted to use public places or parks. They pooled $800 to purchase 10 acres of land they called Emancipation Park. Until the 1950s, Emancipation Park was the only Houston-area public park and swimming pool open to African Americans. Read more at Mental Floss.
