Although the emancipation proclamation was signed almost two and a half years earlier, the news of this important decision didn\u2019t reach Texas until June 19th, 1865. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Juneteenth is celebrated annually on June 19th and has become a time for celebration. People honor Juneteenth in many ways from parties and parades to memorials and lessons. However it\u2019s celebrated, it\u2019s a time to share stories of resilience, resistance, and liberation, and to uplift Black joy. &#8221; &#8211;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nmaahc.si.edu\/learn\/early-childhood-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">National Museum of African American History and Culture&#8217;s Early Childhood Education Initiative Team.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/nmaahc.si.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/files\/nmaahc_kids_-_juneteenth_resource.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">how to talk to kids about Juneteenth<\/a> from the Smithsonian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Juneteenth Story: Celebrating the End of Slavery in the United States (Holiday Celebration)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_tsDwVMFb1WdaO2&#038;asin=0760381992&#038;tag=thedsponit02-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The History of Juneteenth: A History Book for New Readers (Notable Events for Young Readers)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_8odyeqA7vKcgqu&#038;asin=1685394418&#038;tag=thedsponit02-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Juneteenth: A Children&#039;s Story Special Edition\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_bAdRgtXm7vcq2o&#038;asin=B09NRD6Q7R&#038;tag=thedsponit02-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Juneteenth: A Picture Book for Kids Celebrating Black Joy\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_IANVFr5x4Xiywr&#038;asin=0358574323&#038;tag=thedsponit02-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Is Juneteenth?
