WE'RE BACK!!
After an unfortunate break Pastor Lawrence Taylor is back to drop weekly knowledge using the word of God and his devotion to it philosophy. On this weeks episode Pastor discusses "Juneteenth". He touches on some historical information and explains the status of slavery throughout human history.
" Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
