thechildrensmuseum: Juneteenth is a celebration commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to announce the total emancipation of slaves. In honor of Juneteenth this year, we would like to share the Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. In this autobiography, Frederick Douglass discusses his life as a slave, events during the Civil War, and his connection to the anti-slavery movement. -- source link
