Black History: Special Delivery
Check out the Juneteenth Explorer, an AI-powered learning tool.
More than just a holiday explainer, the Explorer is an immersive journey into what really happened on June 19, 1865, when General Gordon Granger and Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that enslaved people were finally free.
The Civil War had ended two and a half years earlier. Yet, Texas refused to comply, and enslavers deliberately withheld the news to keep extracting unpaid labor from people who were already legally free. What followed that announcement is the history most textbooks completely skip:
- The promises made and broken.
- The land given and taken back.
- The laws explicitly written to re-enslave.
- The courageous Black communities who built a life and persevered anyway.
