In Honor of Juneteenth!
Though the Civil War had officially ended on May 9, 1865, and slavery had already been legally abolished in Confederate states, thousands of Black people in Texas remained in bo***ge simply because no one had informed them.
On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce that all enslaved people were now free.
That day became known as Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of delayed justice, Black resilience, and the long road to liberation in America.
We celebrate Juneteenth not just to commemorate freedom, but to honor the generations who endured, resisted, and laid the foundation for the progress we continue to fight for today.
