Finally, today, June 18, 2021, is a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. The name Juneteenth stems from June 19, 1865, when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas, issued General Order No. 3 which announced that in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.” Months later, the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, abolishing slavery in the final four border states that had not been subjected to President Abraham Lincoln’s order. As a humanitarian organization dedicated to Service Above Self and peace efforts throughout the world, Rotary International and The Rotary Club of Omaha honor this day and this moment.
See you on Wednesday at Field Club as we welcome Capt. Sokolik with the Omaha Police Department!
