Happy Juneteenth!
This is a wonderful day celebrating the historic moment of freedom for Black Americans after the Civil War.
On this day in 1865, Union soldiers traveled to Texas to enforce the law that all enslaved Black Americans were free. It’s an important mark in our history that recognizes the true day when those oppressed by slavery were free.
It is now up to us to continue to create a world where everyone is free from oppression. We should take this day as a reminder of how long we have come from and how long we have yet to go.
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
