JUNETEENTH BLACK FREEDOM DAY
On June 19 th 1865, when General Granger arrived in Galveston, TX, as some of us have already mentioned, he arrived with Black Soldiers who were War hardened. What has been left out of that history as Dr Gerald Horne(Historian University of Houston) so eloquently states: General Granger arrived with 75,000 Black Soldiers. Why did he need so much back-up! Because the Confederates from Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, were bringing their slaves to Texas, with their plan to continue Slavery. To the south, was Mexico, under French control at that time, was supporting the Confederates. The French brought African Soldiers from Algeria(Which the French had colonized), Sudan and Egypt. The black soldiers, crushed them, stopping the exportation of Africans from the US to Brazil.
