For Kelley Dixon-Tealer and Champe Granger Juneteenth is personal. Their relatives were in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. One woman’s ancestor was in bondage. The other woman’s relative gave the order to set the enslaved free. CNN’s Victor Blackwell sits down with the women as they share their family stories and discuss the importance of preserving and sharing this history
