This month, which acknowledges and uplifts the contributions Black Americans have made and the impact Black Americans have had on the development of our nation, is an important one. However, this Black History Month - like many - is far too short a celebration of Black history in the United States. From national figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. to local changemakers like Myrtle Carden and Nellie Francis, we celebrate the legacy and equity of Black men and women this month and every month. - - - - - #BlackHistory #wisdomways #blackhistorymonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistoryMatters #History #Herstory #BlackHerstory #ChangeMakers #MyrtleCarden #localhistory #mnhistory #activism #socialchange #politicalchange #BlackisBeautiful #BlackExcellence #NellieFrancis

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history. Most individuals are aware of the festivities and history surrounding Independence Day. However, when the United States was free in 1776, enslaved Black people were not. In reality, it took another 87 years for Black people to be recognized as free. Even yet, it took another two years for freedom, after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for the final enslaved individuals to be released in Galveston, Texas. First flown in 2000, the Juneteenth flag symbolizes freedom over slavery. As the longest-running African American holiday, Juneteenth is an important holiday where communities come together to acknowledge the injustices that Black Americans endured but also to celebrate their rich cultures and accomplishments since then. It is a celebration of the journey and independence of Black people in the United States, as well as an excellent occasion to recognize the many contributions that Black people have made to American culture.

Today marks Juneteenth and a decreed end to slavery in the US, keeping in mind that the legacy and harm of slavery continue to exist long after. As we honor progress and strength in the Black community, BHT is also spending today recommitting ourselves to working together to build a more equitable and just community.

Juneteenth honors the day that the end of slavery was announced in Galveston, TX by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1965. During the Civil War, many enslavers fled southern states to Texas with their captives to maintain the enslavement system. There weren't enough Union troops in Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863), and Texas was the final state to release some 250k enslaved Black people two and a half years after the executive order was issued. The Juneteenth Flag was created by Ben Haith in 1977, and is full of symbolism: • The Star in the center has dual meaning. It represents the state of Texas, which was the first state to recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday. The star also represents freedom for African Americans in all 50 states. • The supernova/Starburst surrounding the single star represents a new beginning for African Americans, just as the supernova is the birth of a new star. • The arc in the middle of the flag represents a new horizon, full of the opportunities and promise that lay ahead for Black Americans. • The colors red white and blue serves as a reminder that the formerly enslaved and their descendants are just as American as anyone else - if not more so. The colors are a commitment to live up to the ideals of liberty and justice for all. "Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible - and there is still much work to do" - Barack Obama.

What is Juneteenth? In January of 1863, it was announced that enslaved people were now free through the Emancipation Proclamation. Black, and some White Union soldiers, marched through Confederate towns reading from the Proclamation. It was a reading from the Proclamation. It was a time of celebration and joy! But not all enslaved people or their enslavers heard the good news. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers entered Galveston, Texas- a place that was one of the last holdouts under Confederate rule- and announced that all the remaining enslaved people needed to be freed. The day became known as Juneteenth. It is a second Independence Day in our country. Juneteenth has been celebrated by Black communities for decades but was made an official federal holiday in 2021. In preparation of celebrating Juneteenth, it is important to educate yourself on why the holiday is necessary. Dr. Jemar Tibsy said, "Many people in the United States are quick to gloss over the unpleasantness of human bondage and simply celebrate the freedom that came afterwards. You can't appreciate the joy of Juneteenth unless you understand the story of slavery. This isn't about being morbid or making a spectacle of human suffering. It is about honoring the history, the full history, of Black Freedom by recognizing the bondage that prevented it for so long." Happy Juneteenth! Let us celebrate our second Independence Day for everyone! Taken from: @meetinghousemosiac

#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.
