Facing South: Happy Juneteenth!

Facing South: Happy Juneteenth!: "This Sunday, June 19, African-Americans across the South and beyond (and others who recognize the holiday) will celebrate Juneteenth. This is the 140th anniversary of what many call 'America's Second Independence Day,' marking the day in 1865 -- over two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation -- that slaves in Texas were finally set free."
