The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, took effect on January 1, 1863. However, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, that the last enslaved people in the Confederacy were freed. This day, known as Juneteenth, was first celebrated in 1866 and continues to be a significant day of remembrance and celebration.
¡Celebrando Juneteenth! Victor Valley Transit estará cerrado el jueves 19 de Junio en honor a Juneteenth — no habrá servicio de autobuses y tanto nuestro lobby como oficinas administrativas también estarán cerrados.
¡Pero no te preocupes! Estaremos de regreso el viernes 20 de Junio con servicio completo y muchas sonrisas.
