On June 19th, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans were finally freed in Galveston, Texas. Every year, our community comes together to honor this special day. We play hopscotch, eat spice cake, and listen to music, but what about the first Juneteenth?

Filled with bright art, accessible language, and informational back matter, this educational book joyfully welcomes readers to the block party!
