(Pioneer's Museum has a new Gallery)...Just in time for Juneteenth.

It is the African American Gallery. The exhibit at the Gallery is Juneteenth. The Holiday is Thursday. The Gallery, however, opened to the public on Saturday before the Juneteenth event at the Martin Luther King Jr. Pavilion in El Centro. Juneteenth is based on June 19th 1865 when the last group of slaves in Texas were notified of their freedom through the Emancipation Act that was signed by President Lincoln in 1863.
