A Juneteenth Story...
It was the United States Colored Troops (USCT), who were dispatched from City Point, VA (present-day Hopewell, VA) as a "Show of Force" along the Texas/Mexico border to France's Maximilian I, ran into a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, and were forced to land at Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865. Over 4,000 USCT bivouac on the island that day, bringing realization to the rumors of freedom to those still enslaved, while General Order #3 was posted on the door of the Colored church (present-day Reedy Chapel) informing all of their Absolute Equality
