But word traveled slowly during the Civil War. It wasn't until June 19, 1865--more than two months after the war ended--that the good news finally reached Galveston, Texas. From that moment forward, June 19 became a day to celebrate freedom--first in Texas and then across the country. How did Juneteenth develop over time, and what is the holiday's enduring legacy? Find out in an easy-to-read graphic novel that reveals why Juneteenth's evolution into a federal holiday is among the greatest moments in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Capstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781669016977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32","brand":"Myra Faye Turner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42896175890613,"sku":"9781669016977","price":31.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7eebe9a5-e1d2-4f36-b021-ad937b77462f.jpg?v=1686101115","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/juneteenth-celebrates-freedom-9781669016977","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
