Juneteenth, in itself, is related to liberation, for it refers to June 19th, 1985, the day on which the remaining African American slaves, who resided in the city of Galveston, Texas, were freed.

It was a cool fall day in Galveston Texas. It was my freshmen year in high school and I was in the gym with my friends Eusebio, Kevin, and Joey.

We snuck through the girls locker room and found the nearest exit. Once we got outside we started walking. As we were walking we saw a school security guard riding around…
