On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the <a href=\"https:\/\/nmaahc.si.edu\/blog-post\/13th-amendment-us-constitution-passed\">Thirteenth Amendment<\/a>\u00a0did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States.<\/p>\n<p>But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as \u201cJuneteenth,\u201d by the newly freed people in Texas. \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nmaahc.si.edu\/explore\/stories\/historical-legacy-juneteenth#:~:text=Freedom%20finally%20came%20on%20June,newly%20freed%20people%20in%20Texas.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-s40ksnb-e6041553b629c708638a9ba11b18b5eb hr-short  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  hr-center'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l48zg3r1-74ce0676a727223236a6f470ba06b2fa\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l48zg3r1-74ce0676a727223236a6f470ba06b2fa img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l48zg3r1-74ce0676a727223236a6f470ba06b2fa .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l48zg3r1-74ce0676a727223236a6f470ba06b2fa av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-40363 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-40363 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.veritext.com\/images\/2022\/06\/houston-2a-small-1030x689.jpeg\" alt='' title='houston-2a-small'  height=\"689\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l48zfeer-6fd3ac9c7468c1a472493178c6e71edf\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l48zfeer-6fd3ac9c7468c1a472493178c6e71edf .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l48zfeer-6fd3ac9c7468c1a472493178c6e71edf '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Martha Yates Jones (left) and Pinkie Yates (right), daughters of Rev.

It marks the actual day in 1834 when the <cite>Slavery Abolition Act<\/cite> of 1833 came into effect across the British Empire. Canadians are not always aware that Black and Indigenous Peoples were once enslaved on the land that is now Canada. Those who fought enslavement were pivotal in shaping our society to be as diverse as it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, each August 1, Canadians are invited to reflect, educate and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination.

Recognizing the significance of Juneteenth, our team is dedicated to pioneering the strategy that will champion corporate and citizen engagement for healing and advocacy for Black Americans. Our day-to-day task involves developing relationships with organizations and individuals to make our mission a reality.
