As a child growing up in Texas, I thought everyone recognized Juneteenth. Not so! It's great that now America will have an opportunity to recognize June 19th and the unique name given this day, Juneteenth. Living in Houston is especially significant on Juneteenth. As the news hit Galveston's shore on June 19, 1865 that slavery ended, informed, former slaves traveled to Houston and developed communities in the Fourth Ward. I love this story of resiliency and determination to make a better life. Today folks of all cultures live throughout Houston, but traveling to Fourth Ward one can still see vestiges of former slave built communities.
