This took place on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, when Union General Gordon Granger read General Order #3, announcing that "all slaves are free"by Proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, and issued on January 1, 1863. It took over two and a half years for the news to travel to southwest Texas."Juneteenth is a landmark in history, a celebration of freedom and the end of enslavement in America," states Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D., Founder & Chairman of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF) and the National Juneteenth Jazz Artist.2025 Juneteenth Line-up below:11amOpening Ceremony11:15am - 12pmGeorge Bell and FriendsBaton Rouge, LA12:30 - 1:30pTotal Control BandNew Roads, LA2pm- 3pmEsco Soul MusicBaton Rouge, LA3:30pm - 4:30pmRed Tape MusiqAscension Parish5pm - 6pmMichael Foster ProjectBaton Rouge, LA6:30pm - 7:30pmRoyal EssenceNew Orleans, LAIf you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the 2025 Committee:Leroy J.
