Houston celebrates Juneteenth

Isiah Carey had a chance to participate in Mayor Sylvester Turner’s Annual Juneteenth Parade in Acres Homes last Saturday. The route was lined with people who were there to celebrate the Southern holiday.  It recognizes the day in the Texas, June 19, 1865, when slaves learned they were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation which was signed in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln and became law in 1863.
