#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX, to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of "June" and "19th" — for over 150 years. Though President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1st, 1863, freed all enslaved people in the Confederacy, its announcement and enforcement relied upon the presence of Union troops, including members of the United States Colored Troops. Although some were aware of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, it wasn't enforced by the Union Army in Galveston, TX, until June 19th, 1865. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of ending slavery in the United States. Today, annual Juneteenth celebrations include family reunions, religious sermons, barbecues, and much more. Two years ago, President Joe Biden opened the signing of Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday with these words: "Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come."

"Sometimes there aren’t other options," says Mel Willie, Director of Native American Partnership and Strategy at NeighborWorks America. “You just want out and you see that option for getting a manufactured home—there’s real reasons why you jump at that option that’s available to you,” he added.
