Exploring San Diego's history with Juneteenth
This year’s Juneteenth holiday is coming up Friday. It’s a celebration of when enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas learned of their independence in 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. San Diego has its own history with the holiday. Wednesday on Midday Edition, we look at how San Diegans have commemorated Juneteenth in years past. Guest: • Kyle Brooks (https://www.sandiego.edu/cas/theology...) , assistant professor of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego
