Although it has been recently recognized as an official holiday in the United States, there's still an incredible amount of teaching that needs to be done around the history of #Juneteenth. When did you first learn about the holiday?

Though celebrated by Black communities across Texas and the wider south since 1885, it wasn’t until 2021 that #Juneteenth became an official holiday in the US. And while there's still work to do to shed light on its history, we can start by educating ourselves and our community.

On June 1, 1996, over 300,000 people rallied in the Nation’s capital for Stand for Children Day. Joined by movement leaders like Rosa Parks and Marian Wright Edelman, thousands of people took to the street to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the rights of children and demand our political leaders work to ensure and expand those rights. That rally would go on to inspire the founding of Stand for Children, bringing together educators, parents, activists, and community members to advocate for children every day.
