Happy Juneteenth! Benjamin Haith, a Boston native, created and designed the official #Juneteenth flag in 1997. The white star in the center stands for Texas, the Lone Star State. It also represents the freedom of African Americans in all fifty states. The bursting outline around the star represents a new beginning for the African Americans. The arc that extends across the width of the flag stands for a new horizon: the opportunities and promises that lay ahead for Black Americans. The red, white, and blue represent the colors of the flag. It symbolizes a continuous commitment of the people to live up to the American ideal of liberty and justice for all. #wearectb #juneteenth #strongertogether #freedom #juneteenthcelebration #blackhistory

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the freedom of enslaved African Americans, more than two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom; it’s a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of African Americans. It’s a day to reflect on our history, recognize the struggles and achievements of Black communities, and commit to the ongoing fight for equality and justice. As we celebrate, let's take time to: - Educate ourselves and others about the history and significance of Juneteenth. - Support Black-owned businesses and uplift Black voices in our communities. - Advocate for policies that address racial inequalities and promote social justice. - Celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of African Americans to our society. Happy Juneteenth! Let’s continue to work towards a future where freedom and equality are truly enjoyed by all. 🖤✊🏽 #motivrei #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #BlackHistory #CelebrateFreedom #EqualityForAll

On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing the end of slavery.

#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.
