- June 19, 1865 was a date that means so much to Texas. On that day in Galveston, Texas, slaves learned they were free. But actually realizing that freedom? It didn’t come easy.
'Juneteenth:1865-2021' looks back at the meaning of Juneteenth and its history here in southeast Texas.

Black is Beautiful and Excellent!! ✊🏾
Thank you! I have learned so much more than I was taught about Juneteenth. I did not know there was a Juneteenth flag. This makes me proud to be a black Texan, and Houstonian. I am a Jack Yates High alumni, and learning the history of the Yates family, makes me even more proud! Ignorance is really bliss. Thank you for educating me in Black Texas history! I have shared this segment with my family.
Hosea 4: 6. 2 Chronicles 7:14. Daughter of Zion, remember The Most High said to remember the days of old, not just days of a manmade day. Iwara Batawa.
Take your head out of soap opras you'll find out way more about Black history.
It's your YTE School boards and supervisory boards that approves what is written in the history books, get involved attend meetings, be proactive. "If you depend on your oppressor to educate you, then you're in bad shape." ie Malcolm X.
Look up Gullah Warriors. My people fought back & WON. PRESIDENT LINCOLN DID NOTHING FOR US.
Haha why is it always black this or black that or black history month or black history again in June? Why is this not just American history? What? You people need to feel special ? We all have had our journeys and trials... why are you special?
How can anyone speak about Juneteenth and not cry? Just to think of the horrors our people had to endure just to receive a right that God gave to us. We need reparation and we need it now!!!
I refuse to be apart of a religion like Christianity, that mentality was forced onto my ancestors. It’s repulsive.
Our reparations should be free college, Free hospitalization.

EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL !!!
I have learned so much from this Documentary.
I have shared it with several of my Family Members & Friends.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!
I live in New York all my life and I never heard about Juneteenth until last year. shameful then but thankful now.
Two miles at age 94? Bless her. Bless all of them. And bless Houston media for making this exceptional video. I grew up in Texas and Ive always known about Juneteenth, but only because of my friends. I remember it becoming a state holiday. But, when I began to travel outside of Texas as an adult, I quickly learned most people I encountered had never heard of Juneteenth. I couldn’t believe it and I educated everyone I could. Thank you for this incredibly well done history lesson.
Yes I’m from Texas but grew up in ATLANTA and I just learned of Juneteenth in my 30s
Never heard of it till last year in ohio.. . Up here these days should b promoted . By black owned business with job fairs.. and education of being a free man by working for self or own . Most of us are just free slaves till this day.. who gives alltheir BRAIN POWER. TO THE CHILDREN OF THE SLAVE MASTER . TO further there society.. every ethic group have there on TERRITORY i see .. lil china town... where im at in ohio... the arabs that got tthe stores . Got a few acres with their seperated place. Somolians.. every one .. where do one go to see the blacks from elavery in america..o see what one produced?? All we want to do is play. party. And dance and eat.. alll these things we learned on the holidays . When slaves. Only day we would not get lashed with the whip..
I grew up in Houston. We celebrated Juneteenth and our parents taught us History. When I moved to Fl in 1989. They did not celebrate and when I asked about it, they asked what is that. I explained, as of now they do celebrate.
It's a federal holiday now..
And you're a Caucasian woman.
We really need to do a better job of educating & fighting for history to be inclusive & synonymous with American history! We owe a lifetime of recognition & respect to our ancestors for their unselfish contribution to our heritage & legacy in order for us to enjoy the freedoms that most of us today take for granted! This makes me proud & even more determined to respect & educate ppl more on subjects such as these to ensure that our history isn't taken lightly or dismissed as folklore! May God continue to bless our ancestors & also we the current generation never forget or marginalize their efforts!
What freedom? Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God. Apocrypha: Baruch 3;8. Arise and awake out of sleep!!! Come out of that 400 year old box and be refreshed...

Thank you for producing this important video. It solidifies my respect and awe of my ancestors who fought so hard and sacrificed so much to make Juneteenth a national holiday. It's about time. Admittedly, however, I want more. One national holiday does not make up for over 400 years of enslavement and continued discrimination today experienced by African-Americans. I want my 40 acres.

I guess u don’t like the fact u can’t own somebody to do work for you for free
Excellent video. I was a baby during the Chicano movement, I really don't remember MLK only what I ve seen on videos, but I LOVE to watch historical videos. I Learn about the history of minorities. As a minority (mexican-american), female I support ALL minorities and remember a phrase my college professor used "we are not only the melting pot, we are the salad bowl "
Also, there's nothing minor about any of us. BLACK or BROWN.
We're great people.
We're great humans that have been wronged. We have been assisted by other great humans in our journey for rights.
Other humans will be persistent in making our existence minor.

Wonderfully informative and engaging piece of work. My 8 year old nephews paused the PS5 and were glued silently to this film. THANK YOU!
I'm 58yrs old black man I learned some very important facts about our Black American History. I'm watery eyed if only it was a Paid Holiday down to every state level enforced Nobody Works. Now that would make a statement to the whole country alone with MLK Day too !✊️✊️💪💪💪🖤🤎💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Today on Juneteenth, the day we celebrate the end of slavery, the day we memorialize those who offered us hope for the future and the day when we renew our commitment to the struggle for freedom. I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom." Frederick Douglass
But the end of slavery was on January 1st 1863..........juneteenth what?
Oh STOP!....Gainesville,Fl just STARTED giving a damn about it within the last (5) years.And its really just considered a FEDERAL holiday.Because its a business as usual.Children don't go to school its just another day.Everything IF anything that's celebrated is all done "across the tracks".The whyt folks here aren't acknowledging it....
Never came from Africa we all wasn’t in slavery
Boy who lied to you, my grandmother told me some slaves weren't free till a year after 1865. In the south its alot of shit that those perverted people did to keep their power. That's all they every cared about, power! The Devil is what it is. If your eyes are blue, pray pray pray 🙏
But some plantations didn't actually let the slaves know and made them keep on working for another few YEARS!...........January 1st 1863 what?
@@leopardcubpupkryky6940
Clearly you didn't even watch 10 minutes of this video!
I have learned soo much from watching this documentary. And I for one will be ad advertising JUNETEENTH 1865 in my front window on the 19th of June, from now on... To keep awareness alive.
I live in London and I hope to spread awareness and encourage everyone to look up this, part of our collective history. Sending Love
Forget advertising Juneteenth we don't need symbolic offering we need you to advertise for (reparations)!💰 the United States and the UK were the biggest enslavers there were so they need to pay for the crimes that they committed Against Humanity by compensating the people whose ancestors were enslaved!🤔💰💸💲
This is very informative! I'm from Chicago, and moved to Houston in elementary school (1st grade). I never spent a summer in Houston until 1998, so I didn't celebrate Juneteenth because it wasn't a thing in the Midwest where I was every summer until I graduated high school. I never understood the importance of it until I was in my late 30s. Honestly, we didn't have much to say about it. But now that I've taken time to study, and really learn about the importance of the holiday and the significance of it, I'm honored to live about 2 miles away from the Freedom Tree. I've gone to just sit in its shade, and really take it in that its were so many people learned they were finally free. I cried thinking about all the heartache on that land. The land I currently live on. It was a part of the Palmer Plantation. It's a powerful experience! Thank you for this documentary! I learned even more about it.
The last slave was released in 1972. Stop with the fake wokeness and do your own research
Its still not important. If the United States really wants to show how sorry they are for slavery, genocide, redlining, bigotry, discrimination, ect...they'd pay ADOS reparations.
Now that I too have taken time to study juneteenth I realize what a bullshit holiday this is. 💩
I am glad that it has become more known. I live in a Midwestern city myself, but as far back as I can remember my daddy took me to the Juneteenth Festival every summer. I believe our city might have been one of the first with a yearly celebration
Perhaps your genealogy began in America with Wade Bowens, Sr. and Nancy Phillips Bowens out of South Carolina in 1840--Who knows? The diaspora is widespread. Lots of love to you from a common maternal namesake.
This is beautiful history. Thank for telling the story of black people.
Go read the Aprocrypha for True Black History
Black don't exist. It's not a nationality.
This is an excellent video. I never knew the significance of Juneteenth. I learned so much. It's sad that in 2022 we must continue to fight to have our history told.
We're still dealing with Juneteenth today in 2022 seeking freedom to live peaceably amongst evident hatred that's penetrated our race as well!

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 enrichment of your life is your job.
I was 22 when I found out now in 57
Just found out about it today on the radio
The 40 acres and a mule was given to some freed slaves, but when Pres. Lincoln's V.P took over after the Pres. was murdered, he took All the land and mules back. He declared that America was for 'white' folk and always would be that way. The 13th Amendment did not make slavery a crime and Black folk really suffered after the emancipation and still suffer today. It was not until 1942 that slavery was really outlawed because the Japanese criticized America for its treatment of Blacks. America's history is dirty and they do not want the truth known.
Thank you. Had to ask why we celebrate this day when we were not truly freed.
Soo much to learn and the sad part is that you have to literally dig to find the truth.
We want recognition for our struggle so bad that as soon as something like junteenth comes around that gives partial confirmation to us we just take it cause we get so little.

Beautiful and thorough video! This is a wonderful account of history that has been hidden in community for far too long!
I was born in 1965 at Riverside Hospital in Houston’s Third Ward. My parents grew up in Houston’s Fifth ward . My mother is now 90 and shares stories about how Juneteenth was celebrated during her childhood. Her father was an independent Black businessman who had his own lumber co. He used to transport Black citizens and family to Galveston on a flatbed truck for the celebration (after a church service).
Happy Juneteenth everyone!!
I was born on June 19, 1971. This means alot. ❤

Thank you for this presentation. It only in the last year that I heard the word Juneteenth. Now I have some understanding of the word and the need for its place in our calendar of national holidays. I will make a conscious effort to expand my understanding of the day and why it’s important for me to celebrate it too. I pledge to put Juneteenth on my calendar of days of remembrance
Me too celebrate as well as a moment of silence today Monday June 20, 2022
The reason why you just heard of it, is because these woke dumbasses in office just made it up ! It's nothing, never had been never will be !
Thank U so very much for this profound & educational report. I'm excited about bringing my family to Galveston to learn more about its vast and rich history. I truly believe this should be shown on prime time television!!!
This is so educational, informative, and done so well! Thank you for sharing! I hope all Americans get to see this, especially us from Texas that grew up here and never knew.

Really, God has no chosen people, we always fighting and arguing about we the Original Hebrew Israelites lost in a weary land, gots no Identity, all this woe is me bs. All the opportunities we have today, sure there's obstacles but now is not the time to pity party, get a good education, stay spiritually grounded, practice decent morals and principles, set realistic goals, work hard to attain those goals. We have the opportunity, get out and vote, participate in your community, stop having babies out of wedlock. Stop destroying the traditional family.
Lived in Port Arthur Texas it was great to see the history of Houston and Galveston Texas. I've spent a lot of time there.
I wish that I had a blanket of love and wrap it around the past, and perhaps slavery and just hate/racism with the black culture would never exist! Black people are so beautiful and my heart hurts because of how they were treated and still are treated! We need to come together and be as one just like GOD intended in the beginning!!!
Thanks for the blanket it will keep me warm and wipe my tears.
if you are so ticklied with this 1619 Project voodoo BS, why don't you know about this:
*Northwest Ordinance*
The Northwest Ordinance, officially titled “An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States North West of the River Ohio,” was adopted by the Confederation Congress on July 13, 1787. Also known as the Ordinance of 1787, the Northwest Ordinance established a government for the Northwest Territory, outlined the process for admitting a new state to the Union, and guaranteed that newly created states would be equal to the original thirteen states. Considered one of the most important legislative acts of the Confederation Congress, the Northwest Ordinance also protected civil liberties and outlawed slavery in the new territories.
There is an alternative to your blanket for the past; you; me can do better from now on! Just think how much stronger we could be if we all join up and pull on the same side; the "America" side!

SUCH A GREAT WAY to COMMEMORATE JUNETEENTH! THANKS, SO MUCH, ROBIN AND JIM for these introductory topics to OUR VAST HISTORICAL LEGACY! Unfortunately, so MANY people STILL remain clueless regarding these epic eras that had a profound impact on not only Black LIVES, but ALL LIVES! If children learn about the histories and contributions of the MANY people who sacrificed their lives to propel this nation into some form of decency that it is NOW losing, we wouldn't be as disturbed as a NATION today! Without question, NO ONE...NO GROUP of people are GUILT FREE! ERASING HISTORY by banning books, academic, and cultural KNOWLEDGE does not resolve the permanent scars WE have as a NATION! Through intellectual therapies, WE CAN PRODUCE children and youth who will CREATE and DEVELOP better methodologies to have peace and harmony! However, WE have to WANT it! May we pray and hope that we CAN achieve it!
Very informative. Thank you for putting this together.
This was really good and informative 👏🏽 !! Happy Juneteenth!!
Sincere thanks to all involved in making this wonderful educational and historic video. The strength and talents of those people called "Slaves" who were exploited by their captors is phenomenal. 👍

The significance of this celebrated occurrence received magnificence when i realized this morning, the devotional I've been reading for at least the past 20 years, instructs it's devotees to read Exodus 3rd chapter. Kenneth Copeland's "From Faith to Faith" long ago chose for June nineteenth , the scripture describing the freedom of the Jewish people from their captivity. What miraculous foresight. What an intense gift in recognition of this day. Hallelujah!

I’m from Central Tx but most of my fam is from the Galveston area. We’ve celebrated/known of Juneteenth since the beginning. It used to surprise me to learn that most Americans, especially African Americans, had never heard of it then I saw the complaints about CRT so of course they didn’t know. Black people, not just African Americans, need to learn their history. our ancestors were not the meek feeble minded subhumans media in virtually all countries have made them out to be. People all over the world admire our heroes. It’s just in predominantly white countries where people are miseducated about them/us.
Exactly
Yes!!! They were NOT meek or feeble. I’m astounded at their courage and bravery! Most Americans today have never seen that type of character in anyone.
A lot of our people don't even want to hear the truth and don't even want knowledge and itself
But they can tell you how many points LeBron hit they can tell you the latest dances but when it comes to our history some of us don't know squat
I wholeheartedly agree
✨WE'VE COME THIS FAR BY, FAITH.✨
✨ LET'S HOLD ON✨
Praise be to God for this video God-bless you 🙏🏽 💞💞💞
This is so well done. I enjoyed every word, every minute. It's America's History
Thank you that was very well put together and informative 👏🏿
Yeah, but this doesn't get us nowhere near reparations.. Juneteenth holiday serves everybody not just us! So now we got Juneteenth as a holiday, and Lift Every Voice as an Anthem.. That's just throwing us a bone🍖 so we can be pacified.. You can't take that to the bank (reparations)💰 is what we should be fighting for not a bunch of symbolic nothings🤔
this country has alot to answer for. "free" without any wages, property, land etc. and some folks have the nerve to not see the devastation or understanding on how wealth and equality has never been even or fair.
Wow! I m born breed & raised in TX & have never heard of the Real history behind Juneteenth, never taught in any schools I attended including a Tx HBCU! Thanks, Our history can’t be boxed in the month of February!
Outstanding, loving and informative video!
This is one of the very best, one of the most comprehensive, treatments of Juneteenth that i have ever seen!...I am already reaching out to some of the participants for my own work!...Bro. Zayid Muhammad, All Politics R Local Radio
Zayeed, Mashallah ! get the word out.
Thanks for an excellent presentation of this important event in Black lives. I applaud and appreciate you all.
Thank you so much for making these videos. They’re made in such a brilliant way that it’s able to reach young and old audiences. I’ve learned so much and am only half way through! I’d love to see more content like this.
Thank you for sharing! I never knew about Junteen until I was grown. This made me cry. My ppl are so strong.
WE,the African American church community had always celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Biden didn't give us anything.
@ Aaron Digby it's sad when we're Are Still Slaves believing we Are Free 😆 OMG Lawd
Many companies don't recognize this Holiday.
This is remarkable 👏 🙌 ❤️
Thank you so much ✌️🙋♀️ 💯
🙄😒
Happy Juneteenth to all my brothers and sisters. In May the father universe
Be with us all who are believer.
Let thank him for the things he have done for us
In the things he going to do for us..

This video is so well done and so important to the history of Africans in America.
O,.,m
O,o,..
Look,,o ok....
Look,,o ok....
,,.m,.m Man,,
More tears and pain than progress on 2022...
My father told me when I was a child that my due date was Juneteenth. Because I don’t watch news stations I didn’t hear about Juneteenth again until watching an episode of Blackish. That’s shameful. I’m glad you included the vital biblical background about how we are promised freedom both free and slave. The many pastors and seemingly even more women of faith have a place in heaven and their faith encourages mine. Thank God for their ministries who helped so many!
Thank you! I learned so much more about the significance and importance of Junteenth and am so glad it is now a Federal Holiday!
Wow,. Still living the pain of the past. Though I, myself, was not a slave my ancestors had a depressing upbringing with oppression stamped in their DNA. My ancestors would then bare children and raise them in the only way they knew how,. In more oppression and lack of education and financial poverty. The cycle continues. Lord help
Great video. I sure learned a lot. Thank you.
Juneteenth was the month of becoming, NOT FREE, no; Nothing more than un-unionized employees. Only the independently wealthy are free. The rest of us are brave. Not free, just disorganized..
So painful! Unreal how humans can hurt other humans for money and arrogance. So much suffering!
After being discharged from the Army, I had time to explore. Was stationed at Fort Stewart, in coastal Georgia. In 2006, I was driving in a very rural place, Evans County & Tattnall County. On Thanksgiving Day, I was surprised, not pleasantly so, to see overseers had Mexicans & other non-whites toiling in the cotton fields at around midmorning, early afternoon. I noticed the years 2000 - 2006, a passive aggressive hostility toward my family, we are mixed race Mexican - Irish - German Jews. After trying to smile & get along for six years, I gave up & migrated to Chicago.
I was teaching English as a Second language & Adult Basic Education in Georgia, before leaving for the North. Some of my students were living in shacks with no screens, broken doors, windows. Mosquitos & bugs could enter & suck the blood of the hapless rural workers. I saw this with my own eyes. When I went to check on two students who stopped attending, a white man demanded "What are you doing talking to my Mexicans?"
@@johnnycreighton29 Are you serious is that area of Ga still like that? Just curious
All I wanted to say is Thank you💯
Know your history because it's important.
Excellent video.
Houston is on my list for next year June. If the Lord let me live to see it, I will be there.
This was a nice doc, yo!
Great video!!!!! I am glad I watched this. I learned a lot today
Hurrah !! Bravo !! Well done because "If we don't know our history we are destined to repeat it" Excellent history lesson !! Excellent !!
Excellent, but we're being sidetracked from what we really should be asking for and that is (reparations)!💰 Juneteenth holiday serves everybody not just us.. Can you take that to the bank? If you work for state or federal job you get the day off with pay but then Uncle Sam takes some of that so what are you getting? (🥚)🤔
My elders still hurt from that terrible past it makes me so angry and all the killing going amongst each other i wish we could've use that again them back then
WE DONT JUST NEED THE HISTORY LESSONS, WE NEED THE REPARATIONS TO GO ALONG WITH THE KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE ALL THAT KNOWLEDGE NEEDS TO BE ENJOYED IN THE FORM OF NICE HOMES, GARDENS, CARS VACATIONS, BED N BREAKFASTS ETC.
Get on code. The list you advance does exist. However we have a Justice Claim to be met.
Reparations will always be hard to come by because to truly trace it out it would have had to be documented and all slaves before immancipation were only numbers in a leadger, often by gender,age..no names. So how could they possibly pay a restitution properly when our names were given and the last name belonged to the slave master? I believe that's why The President was like I'm gonna give them a federal holiday because anything else is nearly impossible. 🤷🏾♀️
Whites do not want this taught in school, this is a part of black history, whites want it erased, every black person should know about our ancestors, and how their lives were ruined by whites.
@@phillycheez6288 was it impossible for the Holocaust wasn't impossible for the Indians hell no it wasn't. They made a way to pay all these people off but for some reason black people can't even get reparations and it's always excuses to that when we were the ones who suffered the most and still suffer to this day lack of jobs lack of money lack of resource lack of Education so miss me with that b*******
Loved this! I knew about Juneteenth, and I had watched 13th, but I didn't know all these Juneteenth details.Thank you so much for sharing this transformational and inspirational history. If I'm ever back east in the US, I'll definitely visit Galveston (always thought how wonderful it is being next to the ocean.) Thanks again.
Well well great reporting
I live in Chicago and this one Video is so powerful. 🔥. I have to share with as many people as possible. No channel in Chicago public or private has given us this much information. JUNE 19,2022
Thank you so much for bringing this painful history to us.
