Juneteenth holds significant historical and cultural importance in the United States. It marks the day when Union General Gordon Granger's announcement in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, effectively freed the last enslaved individuals in the Confederate states, nearly two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This delay in freedom reaching Texas symbolizes both the challenges of communication during that era and the profound impact of slavery on African American communities. Recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021 underscores its importance in American history and acknowledges the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all citizens.#Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #CelebrationOfResilience

Juneteenth is a day to recognize the profound significance of June 19, 1865, the day when enslaved people in Texas learned of their emancipation. But it is also so much more. You will often hear that this is the day that marks the true end of slavery in the U.S. Yet, we know that racial minorities continue to face systemic violence that extends the legacy of slavery into the modern era, often with little material difference. Thus, Juneteenth is a day to not just celebrate freedom, but to rededicate ourselves to racial equality. It is day to declare that the arc of history still bends toward justice, even–perhaps especially–when justice is too long deferred. #juneteenth #racialjustice #antiracism #endracism #equality
