On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas with news of freedom. More than 250,000 African Americans embraced freedom by executive decree in what became known as

Juneteenth or Freedom Day.

QUOTABLES


In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.

-John Steinbeck


I have only to break into the tightness of a strawberry, and I see summer - its dust and lowering skies.

-Toni Morrison


And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald


Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

-William Shakespeare


I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.

-L.M. Montgomery
