Voices and Visions of Emancipation Initiative

As part of the ongoing partnership between Texas A&M University, Prairie View A&M University, and the NIA Cultural Center in Galveston, the Voices and Visions of Emancipation initiative celebrates the legacies of freedom that began with Juneteenth — June 19, 1865 — when the last group of illegally enslaved persons were finally liberated under General Order Number 3. Issued by President Abraham Lincoln and introduced by Union General Gordon Granger, the order specified that “…all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves.”
