There’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition! Compete with friends and family in the Obstacle and Sports Games arena.The name, “Juneteenth,” is in reference to June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers reached Galveston, Texas and announced that the Civil War was over and the enslaved were now free. While the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law in 1863, it effectively had zero legal impact since the Confederacy had seceded from the Union. As a result enslaved Blacks remained in bondage 2 years after President Lincoln sign the proclamation.
On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed into law a long over due Senate Bill making “Juneteenth” a federal holiday.
