On this date in 1865, the Blacks in Texas finally became free. The Emancipation Proclaimation (signed 2 1/2 years earlier) had never been officially enforced.

There is dabate today as to whether this day should be celebrated or not. Some believe it is a celebration of slavery while some believe it is a celebration of freedom. To each his own.

If you would like to read more about this day there is a world of information on this page:

I’m going drinking now. I may see you tomorrow (I’m not as young as I used to be.)

In Houston, they used to have an awsome blues festival at Miller Outdoor Theater. It may still go on, but the acts are more R&B now.
