On June 19, events across Central Florida and the nation will commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, marking not Jan. 1, 1863, the date when Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became official, but June 19, 1865 the day more than two years later when the news reached Galveston, Texas, and perhaps the nation’s last enslaved people to learn they had been freed.
