Juneteenth does not celebrate "When news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." Juneteenth celebrates when the racist people in Texas that tried to hold on to slavery for as long as they could even after it was abolished, finally couldn't keep up the lie anymore.

To be clear, though, slaves in Texas were de facto freed 6+ months before slaves in the Union states of New Jersey and Kentucky, who would have to wait for the ratification of the 13th Amendment. Meaning there were still people in legal bondage under the US flag on the Day of Jubilee in Texas.

Juneteenth celebrates when the United States army arrived in Texas & spanked them for trying to keep their slaves after the rest of the Confederacy surrendered.
Because Texas sucks.
A bunch of Texans (and others) then moved to Brazil so they could still have slaves.

If I recall Texas preferred to give up some of its land to Oklahoma rather than abolish slavery.

Remember Kid and Play? Texas should look like Kid's hair. But it looks like Play's hair. Because Texas wanted to hold onto that racism just a little bit longer. Texas has been pulling these types of stunts throughout its history. 🤷🏿♂️

the fact that they just kept ignoring the Emancipation Proclamation for 2.5 YEARS always enrages me.
