On June 19th, 1865, federal forces arrived in Texas and finally announced that all enslaved people in Texas were now free.
Today, we are STILL fighting for equal representation for all Texans as our rights are under attack through racial gerrymandering and restrictions on voting rights. #Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. This monumental news came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation and effectively marked the end of slavery in the United States. #juneteenth

Remember how the US fought a war to illegalize owning humans for forced labor, and a whole bunch of the losers decided NOT TO TELL said humans so they could continue extracting from them for YEARS?
A #Juneteenth lesson: the US has a long history of not letting human rights get in the way of profit.

Here’s the thing about #Juneteenth:
It is the only Holiday recognizing that freedom and democracy take ongoing effort and dedication.
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation occurred more than two years before being enforced in Texas.
A good lesson in these difficult times.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
