You're listening to Comedy Central.

Ow!

There are many Americans who don't know what Juneteenth is.

And if you're one of those people, Dulce Sloan is here to explain it in her new segment,

Dulcean.

Juneteenth, the day we celebrate slavery officially ending in America, or if you're gone with the

wind fan, the day of morning.

Now you might be thinking the end of slavery.

So this is about the emancipation proclamation.

Nope.

The emancipation proclamation of 1863 didn't end slavery.

Slavery didn't even end when the Civil War was over in 1865.

In reality, it took two months after the Civil War ended for the Union Army to get into

all the slaves' days and free the slaves.

And they came to give it all for you, don't you?

White people ran on CPTAR, but on June 19, 1865, a Union general named Gordon Granger occupied

Texas, the last slave state and declared all of its slaves free.

He's an American hero.

And it looks like the breeze set my coffee shop.

I'm going to have to thank him next time I order a maquillado.

And frame the slaves in Texas for the specially important, because although Texas was the last

state to be emancipated, it had a ton of slaves.
