Juneteenth is more than a holiday, it is the realization of a centuries long struggle to end slavery in the United States. Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and a commitment to uplifting Black voices. As we continue to strive for equity for all, we support and stand in community with the wide array of organizations who are building community, speaking out, and fighting to end oppressive systems born out of American chattel slavery. Education is key to truly reconciling our past, learn more about Juneteenth below: https://lnkd.in/gqvPZFF

Today we acknowledge Juneteenth, a day of freedom, which took place in Galveston, Texas on June 19th, 1865. It was on this day that the end of slavery was enforced and Texas became the last Confederate state to end slavery in the U.S. We cannot work towards a better future if we do not recognize our past. #TheLadipoGroup #Juneteeth #BlackHistory #History #AmericanHistory #Maps #Freedom #Holiday #Texas #Galveston #GalvestonTexas #BlackMentalHealthMatters #BlackMentalWellness #Trauma #RacialTrauma #Slavery #Equality #Racism #RestorativeJustice #TransformativeJustice #HealingJustice #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistory365 #BlackHistoryFacts

Helpful explanation of a thoughtful design.
[JUNETEENTH | FLAG] Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, slavery continued in Texas until June 19, 1865, when word reached Galveston, Texas that all slaves in Texas were free. One third of the people in Texas were [enslaved people] at that time. Juneteenth was celebrated annually with picnics and barbecues at public emancipation grounds, some of which are used to this day. Juneteenth became a legal state holiday in 1980. Source: Black Facts #juneteenth | #blacklinkedin #blackcommunity #blackatwork #blackhistory #blackjoy #blackprofessionals #blackpride

I should have edited this video. It's long. There is an awkward pause. And another one. I'm not as good with my words here. That's okay. I'm talking about race. And that's uncomfortable. I grew up in Idaho. Everyone looked like me. I looked like everybody. We didn't talk about diversity or race. Because why would we? If we did, I don't recall any champions for justice. I had a LOT to learn. Like this: while we celebrate Juneteenth, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in 1862. By design, it took 2 ½ years for news to reach the last slaves in Galveston, Texas. On June 19th, 1865. Not even justice was justly delivered. The sacrifice and suffering originating from American slavery is a stain on our history. It has been replaced with systemic, structural racism that persists. Especially in real estate. We can make a difference here. The future is ours to advance a more just and equitable future. It’s one thing to reflect and learn. It’s another to act. It's the work of individuals and business leaders to insist on change, then make it. It's my work.
