The community came together to celebrate the end of slavery in the United States during the Juneteenth holiday.
On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform 250,000 enslaved people that they were free.
A number of special events were held in the community to mark the anniversary.
