On this day in 1865, freedom from slavery was declared in Galveston, Texas. Last weekend, in partnership with the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation, we hosted a Juneteenth Jazz Legacy and Heritage Festival at the Water Street Plaza. As Dr. Al Gourrier taught us last week, keep "Sankofa" in mind today. Look to the past and bring that wisdom to the present in order to make positive changes for the future. #Juneteenth #Sankofa
