Did you know Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States? On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved people were now free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, has since become a day to celebrate African American culture, history, and progress, while also reflecting on the ongoing fight for equality and justice. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, marking a significant step in acknowledging and honoring this important part of American history.

This is not new. Although a new generation of advocacy, a new movement has been born, there are many who stood up and spoke out first. On December 4, 1969, a young civil rights leader, Fred Hampton, aged 21, was tragically killed in a police raid. Hampton, a figurehead in the Black Panther Party, exemplified dedication to racial equality, social justice, and community upliftment. His innovative approach to coalition-building and his critique of systemic injustices paved the way for many of the strategies used in activism today. Imagine the impact he and others like him could have had with the technological tools and platforms we now have at our disposal! For those of you who may not know about him, here are some basic facts: Core beliefs- Racial Equality and Social Justice: Hampton was deeply committed to the fight against racial discrimination and sought to advance civil rights. Community Programs: He was instrumental in developing and promoting community-based programs. These included free breakfast programs for children, health clinics, and educational programs, which were part of the BPP's community services. Anti-Poverty Efforts: He was a strong advocate for the poor and worked to address issues of poverty, believing that economic justice was a crucial part of the civil rights struggle. Coalition Building: He believed in forming alliances across racial and ethnic lines, understanding the power of unity in fighting against systemic oppression. He helped to establish the "Rainbow Coalition," which included groups like the Young Lords (a Puerto Rican organization) and the Young Patriots (a group of white Appalachians). Critique of Police Brutality and the Criminal Justice System: He was vocal against police brutality and the unfair practices within the criminal justice system, especially those affecting African American communities. Empowerment Through Education and Political Awareness: He emphasized the importance of education and political awareness for empowerment. He encouraged people, especially the youth, to understand their rights and the political system. His legacy continues to influence civil rights and social justice movements to this day. #humanityfirst #FredHampton #socialjustice #civilrightsmovement #challengethestatusquo #palestine
