US 101's video: What Is Juneteenth - US 101

@What Is Juneteenth? - US 101
When President Trump scheduled one of his rallies on June 19th, he received a lot of criticism because that day is also known as Juneteenth. But what is Juneteenth? This week on the show, we'll learn about this important yet relatively unknown American holiday which marks the end of slavery in the United States. We'll find out its origin by revisiting the Emancipation Proclamation, why the Confederacy wanted to maintain slavery, what happened when the news finally reached the state of Texas, and what early Juneteenth celebrations looked like.
