WEPA in the Morning - Happy Juneteenth!

On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, home of Jack Johnson, with news that the Civil War is over and slavery in the United States is abolished. That's wild. So how wild is that? Is that living in that time, slavery was abolished months before that, but by the time the news got there, you know... Years before. Two know, what'd you say? It was two years.
