📣🎉 Today, we celebrate Juneteenth! 🎉📣
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
This significant day symbolizes freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality. It serves as a reminder of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead.
Let us honor the achievements, contributions, and culture of Black Americans. It is a time to reflect on our history, educate ourselves, and take action towards a more just and inclusive society.
Happy Juneteenth! 🎊✊🏾✨
