News of emancipation reached Galveston more than two years after it was signed. That gap is the whole reason the date matters, and it is why GALVESTON sits in this grid next to FREEDOM and JUBILEE rather than a pile of summer words.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a city name hidden among the vocabulary?
Galveston is where the announcement was finally read aloud, which makes it less a place name than the turning point of the story.
What does jubilee mean here?
It describes a season of release and public rejoicing, a word carried into the holiday from much older traditions.
