"Free at Last" commemorates the historic day of June 19, 1865, when more than 2,000 Union troops, under the command of Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, to make a life-changing announcement. This declaration informed over 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state that they were free, signifying the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln two and a half years earlier. The arrival of Union forces ensured that the long-awaited promise of freedom was finally fulfilled, putting an end to slavery in one of the most remote Confederate states, where the institution had persisted despite earlier decrees.
This historic day came to be known as Juneteenth, a blend of "June" and "nineteenth," symbolizing a pivotal moment of liberation and new beginnings for African Americans. Juneteenth has since evolved into celebrating African American culture, heritage, and resilience. It serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles endured and the triumphs achieved in the ongoing quest for equality and justice. Juneteenth is not only a day to honor the past but also a time to reflect on the progress made and the work that still lies ahead in the journey toward true freedom and civil rights for all.

Measuring 30” x 40” with 1.5" mirrored edges, each piece is a powerful testimony.
