That day became a day of remembrance and celebration that changed and grew from year to year. Learn about the events that led to emancipation and why it took so long for the enslaved people in Texas to hear the news. The first Juneteenth began as "Jubilee Day," where families celebrated and learned of their new rights as citizens. As Black Texans moved to other parts of the country, they brought their traditions along with them, and Juneteenth continued to grow and develop. Today, Juneteenth's powerful spirit has endured through the centuries to become an official holiday in the United States in 2021. The Juneteenth Story provides an accessible introduction for kids to learn about this important American holiday." -- 650 0 $a Juneteenth. 650 0 $a Holidays. 650 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Cloud, Sawyer. 941 $a 2 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20221028011942.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20220913015814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BBE17B14332911ED9E74557829ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
