Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered.

#Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 that Union soldiers, led by General Gordon Granger, reached Galveston, Texas. They announced to the state that the Civil War was over and that all enslaved persons had been declared free. https://t.co/ZnLnwbYE6A

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

#Juneteenth lessons need to recognize the challenges those who fight injustice have always faced, but shouldn’t be marked only by the tragedy of enslavement. Empowerment can be found in the celebrations of culture, activism and the humanity of a people. https://t.co/8ltBtC7DUF
