WPFW's Askia Muhammad has been actively celebrating "Juneteenth" the anniversary of the last day of slavery in Texas, since 1981.

Juneteenth is June 19, 1865, the day when Federal troops arrived at Galveston, Texas to read the Emancipation Proclamation.

Askia Muhammad discusses Juneteenth, with words and music, addressing the eternal moral question which has surrounded Juneteenth since its inception: Is Juneteenth Revolutionary?
