About this ebook
June 19th, 1865, began as another hot day in Texas. Enslaved African Americans worked in fields, in barns, and in the homes of the white people who owned them. Then a message arrived. Freedom! Slavery had ended! The Civil War had actually ended in April. It took two months for word to reach Texas. Still the joy of that amazing day has never been forgotten. Every year, people all over the United States come together on June 19th to celebrate the end of slavery. Join in the celebration of Juneteenth, a day to remember and honor freedom for all people.
Encourage understanding of diverse cultures. Featuring full-page illustrations, these beautiful editions look at the history and customs associated with various holidays and present early readers with high-interest offerings.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my first book to read in the online format and once I changed the settings so that I could see the spread of two pages as opposed to one at a time, the illustrations were more engaging though the text is really the important part of this book.This book could be used in a library program for Black History Month which centers on the end of slavery.
