Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 88: Texas Legacy Of Juneteenth
June 19, 1865 is forever known as Juneteenth, the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were informed “all slaves are free" - and they had been free, for more than two years.
We reveal the complicated path that led to a remarkably simple military order that changed hundreds of thousands of lives, how Texas led the way in making Juneteenth a federal holiday… and the powerful performance taking place today, at the Alamo. Featuring author and historian Edward Cotham, and Texas Commission on the Arts "Texas Touring Roster Artist" Dr. Jolie Rocke.
