99JAMZ Salutes Juneteenth — Black Freedom Day

It’s Juneteenth, also known as Black Independence Day, the day freedom finally reached the last of our ancestors in Galveston, Texas, back in 1865. Two and a half years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the truth finally came. delivered by General Gordon Granger and backed by Union soldiers.

That moment wasn’t just history, it was power. It was truth. It was overdue.

At 99JAMZ, we don’t just remember the struggle, we honor the grind, the culture, and the freedom that fuels everything we do.

This Juneteenth, we salute the past and keep our eyes on the future. Respect the roots. Celebrate the rise.
