OHIO — Communities in Ohio celebrated the Juneteenth holiday, which is officially on June 19, over the weekend.
The origin of the Juneteenth celebrations marking the end of slavery in the U.S. goes back to an order issued as Union troops arrived in Texas at the end of the Civil War. It declared that all enslaved people in the state were free and had “absolute equality.”
