Summary:

On January 1, 1863, our history books proudly proclaimed the end of slavery in the United States. While the correct documents were signed and addresses were made, the slaves in Galveston, Texas remained in bondage. It was not until June 19, 1865 that they would be released from their chains when the Union soldiers arrived. Juneteenth: It’s a Celebration by Chasity Collins explores the story of the last group of slaves set free by the Emancipation Proclamation. Using vivid language and an easy-to-follow rhyme scheme, Collins teaches children about an aspect of their history that is often overlooked.
