Today is the Celebration of the emancipation of the slaves in Texas: June 19th 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued 2 years earlier, "word" only got to Galvaston on this date. Hard to believe given today's speed of communication, huh? I'll be spending the day participating in a parade and setting up my Volunteer Minister tent and giving people "assists."
