On June 19, 1865, Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, with good news: the end of the long and cruel civil war and emancipation of black slaves. However, this news changes life, was given to a whopping two-and-year and a half after the date of the first emancipation of 1 January 1863. The last but momentous news of General Granger seems still pending in his recognition in our history.
