Join UMB for its fifth annual Juneteenth Jubilee from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. June 18 at 4MLK (indoors) at the BioPark, 4 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Enjoy free food, giveaways, and music while supplies last.
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and Major Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 announcing that enslaved people in Texas were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect Jan. 1, 1863.
