The text of General Order #3 is as follows:
The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, part of the Smithsonian Institution and colloquially known as the Blacksonian, has an extensive YouTube page, including two playlists specifically for Juneteenth.
