How Juneteenth was Born in Galveston

As we get ready to celebrate Juneteenth this week, we want to revisit how the historic holiday became one of the most important days of our region. Houston artist Reginald Adams and his team have painted at least 10 Juneteenth murals across the country and he joins City Cast Houston Host Raheel Ramzanali to explain why Juneteenth is so important to him, why it should matter to every Houstonian, and what other traditions started after Emancipation Day.
