Therefore, the correct answer must be "a news and gossip magazine".

    Many people say that "Juneteenth" (June 19) should be made a legal holiday because this was the day when:

    • The slaves were freed in the USA

    • The slaves were freed in Texas

    • The slaves were freed in Jamaica

    • The slaves were freed in California

    • Martin Luther King was born

On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3, which proclaimed the freedom of all slaves in the state. This event marked a significant milestone in the abolition of slavery in the United States, as it occurred two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth serves as a reminder of the long struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans and is a symbol of emancipation and hope.
