HAPPY FREEDOM DAY! Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than through fashion!
