Juneteenth marks the moment Union troops arrived in Galveston to enforce emancipation, freeing a quarter million enslaved people in Texas in 1865. The Standard's Sean Saldana reports on how the city is helping preserve that history and support new celebrations through a grant program.

Houston's Juneteenth may face weather issues, with a 30% chance of afternoon storms and high heat. Attendees are advised to prepare for potential downpours during celebrations.
