Juneteenth 2020

One hundred fifty-five years ago, Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and issued General Order No. 3, proclaiming the freedom of the slaves. Today I had the honor of participating in a panel webinar presented by the Dallas Bar Ass'n in commemoration of this anniversary, featuring Professor Daina Berry (the incoming Chair of the History Department of UT Austin) and Dallas lawyer Paul Stafford, under the title "Juneteenth to June 2020: History's Relevance to Today's Reality."
