Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth! On this day 156 years ago, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to take command of the state and issue five general orders. One of these orders, Order #3, freed all slaves. This was two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Pictured here is a copy of the General Orders, which is on display inside the African American Museum. If you’re coming out for the Juneteenth Festival (noon until 8p), stop by the African American Museum on your way to Cotton Bowl Plaza. The museum will be open from noon until 5p. ••••• DYK @dallashistory has the only known original copy of the general orders? They will be on display when the Hall of State reopens.
