👉🏾The Haitian Revolution brought an end to slavery and French colonial rule in Haiti in 1804. 👉🏾 In Saint Lucia and the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean, our enslaved ancestors were freed in 1834, a year after the official proclamation. 👉🏾 The formal end of slavery in the Spanish-speaking countries of South and Central America occurred during pivotal independence movements which began as early as the 1810s, with slavery ending in most of these countries by the 1850s. Slavery in Puerto Rico ended in 1873, and in Cuba in 1886. 👉🏾 After a 10-year transition period from the initial proclamation, enslaved persons in Suriname and the Dutch Antilles were freed in 1873. 👉🏾 In 1888, Brazil was the last country in the Americas where slavery came to an end. ---------- Juneteenth (June 19) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States which is an important part of this timeline. Occurring in 1865, this places the US as one of the last countries to end slavery in the Americas. This TedX animation was beautifully and intentionally crafted and gives a comprehensive overview of the end of slavery in the United States and the continued fight for racial equality for Black Americans to this day.

From 1865 to Today: The Evolving Legacy of Juneteenth Let's talk about Juneteenth, a day that marks a pivotal moment in American history. Since becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has sparked conversations and celebrations nationwide. But why is this day so significant? Juneteenth, a blend of "June" and "nineteenth," commemorates June 19, 1865, the day when Union soldiers brought the long-awaited news of freedom to enslaved people in Texas — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It's a stark reminder of the resilience and strength of those who fought for liberty. Today, Juneteenth is more than a historical date, and we recognize it by supporting Black-owned businesses, listening to Black voices, and educating ourselves about the significance of Juneteenth.

Today, on #Juneteenth I want to take a moment to provide some much-needed nuance that I haven't seen much on my LinkedIn timeline. It's important to note that this is a day to honor the experiences of enslaved people in the United States. This is not simply "a day to center Black folks" as I'm seeing being suggested, but more specifically, those who descended from enslaved people. Me and my good sis Joquina Reed have discussed this on our Linkedin Live show throughout the past year, but it bears repeating: We must prioritize and center those directly impacted by Juneteenth. To me, this means turning down Juneteenth speaking engagements, as I am *not* a descendant of enslaved people, and referring folks like Kina and other descendants of enslaved people who can speak to what Juneteenth means to them and how they/their families have directly been impacted by chattel slavery. This nuance and differentiation is important. Much of the dialogue has been lumping all Black folks across the diaspora into the Juneteenth conversation but I think the distinction is crucial. Equity is achieved when we point out and account for these seemingly subtle but important nuances and ensure we're centering those directly impacted by specific historical harms. Aside from Joquina, some folks to learn from include: LeRon Barton Erin Corine Johnson Kim Crowder John Graham Jr. Dr. Nika White, CDE®, IOM
