"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 so much work to do." – Barack Obama #juneteenth #history #change #forthebetter

#History On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that all people being held as slaves would henceforth be free. Two years later, on January 31, 1865, the 13th Amendment was passed by Congress. Yet, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865, that Union soldiers finally arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, with the long-awaited news of freedom. This day, now celebrated as #Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day, commemorates the emancipation of African American slaves. While we celebrate this monumental day, it’s important to recognize that June 19th, 1865, was not the day that all slaves were freed. As a national organization, Latina Professionals represents a diverse range of voices, identities, and experiences. This Juneteenth, we urge you to learn more about the history and support our Black Native relatives.
