(220620) -- SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2022 (Xinhua) -- People take part in a celebration of Juneteenth in San Francisco, the United States, June 18, 2022. Celebrated on June 19, the holiday marks the day in 1865 when Union Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 in Galveston, Texas, emancipating the remaining enslaved people in the state. For enslaved Americans in Texas, freedom came two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. (Photo by Liu Yilin/Xinhua)
