On this day in 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the freedom of all enslaved people, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Understanding the significance of Juneteenth helps us grasp the complexities of cultural dynamics and the lasting impact of slavery on society today.

What Juneteenth lessons still apply to our lives today?🤔 - - - - Juneteenth marks the day that word got to the remaining slaves and their owners in the United States that all people that had previously been enslaved were now free! The emancipation proclamation that granted this freedom was issued on January 1, 1863 whereas Juneteenth wasn’t until June 19th, 1865. That’s 2 and a half years of freedom that the final slaves did not get to experience, simply because they didn’t know. There were absolutely those who knew those slaves were free but simply didn’t inform them to use them to their advantage until the absolute final minute. There is a silver lining to this unfortunate history in that it gives us all lessons that we can live by today: 1. Oftentimes, people recognize opportunities (that are uniquely for you) long before you do. 2. Some individuals will cast a shadow over your greatness in order to benefit from it. 3. Just because you don’t recognize your power/excellence/greatness does not mean that you don’t possess it. 4. Don’t count on people to proactively tell you what you need to know; ask questions, research, and investigate. 5. Just because you don’t see it today does NOT mean that your ultimate success isn’t already in motion!
Today we celebrate Juneteenth, the day to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. Let's reflect on the progress we've made since and continue to strive for equality, justice and unity. Together we can create a brighter future for all. Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

Many people wonder why those who don't live in Texas are celebrating Juneteenth. However, you don't have to be a resident of Texas to appreciate the significance of Juneteenth and what it represents. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. While it originated in Texas, marking the day when the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the state were finally freed, its message and importance extend far beyond the borders of a single state. Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, equality, and the triumph of the human spirit over oppression. It is a day for all Americans to reflect on the painful history of slavery, acknowledge the ongoing struggle for racial justice, and commit to building a more equitable society. So while Juneteenth may have its roots in Texas, its relevance and impact are felt nationwide. People across the country can and should join in honoring this pivotal moment in American history and the values it represents. Celebrating Juneteenth is a way to show solidarity, educate ourselves about our shared past, and work towards a future of greater understanding and unity.

#Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States, commemorating the emancipation of the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. This historic day serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of my ancestors, whose perseverance and courage paved the way for future generations. As a Southern Black woman from Houston Texas, I am deeply proud of my heritage, which profoundly influences my identity and values. The legacy of my ancestors is a constant source of inspiration, motivating me to honor their sacrifices and contributions through my work and everyday actions. Understanding the depth of my roots instills in me a sense of responsibility to continue their legacy of resilience and resistance. Their stories of struggle and triumph shape my worldview and fuel my passion for justice and equality. From the plantations of the South to the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement, their journey is intertwined with the broader narrative of American #History—a narrative of resilience in the face of adversity, and triumph against all odds. This profound connection to my heritage drives me to uplift and empower others within my community, ensuring that their voices are heard and their stories are celebrated. It inspires me to advocate for systemic change and to fight against injustices that continue to impact marginalized communities today. In celebrating Juneteenth, we honor not only the end of slavery but also the ongoing struggle for true freedom and equality for all. Together, we continue the legacy of resilience and resistance, forging a path towards a future where justice and opportunity are accessible to every person, regardless of race or background.
