"Slavery may have ended in 1865, but the message of freedom wasn't delivered until years later to Black people due south of Houston in Galveston, Texas on June 19th. The celebration that followed, 'Juneteenth', was a ceremony filled with music, food and “red drink" which was a punch made with hibiscus flower, sweetener, citrus, fruit, herbs, and often alcohol." – Tiffanie Barriere
