Opal Lee, the 97-year-old Texan known for her push to make Juneteenth a national holiday, was given the keys Friday to her new home, which was built on the same tree-lined corner lot in Fort Worth that her family was driven from by a racist mob when she was 12.

Happy Juneteenth!

Today  in 1865, Union troops told Black communities in Texas that the Civil War and enslavement were over.
But nearly 160 years later, Republican legislators and members of Congress still seem to have not gotten that message. @UARJ4 https://t.co/Eo3IELEw4e

SB 202, punishing university faculty for talking about race and racism, continues to advance through the Indiana legislature. The final vote may come as early as Monday #stopSB202 @aleksappleton

@_ashawndabney It is impossible (and dishonest) to teach the history of the U.S. and omit slavery and genocide. That's like someone learning your history but ignoring the presence of your mother and father.

@MayoIsSpicyy Well it obviously did not work. He's still there, yes?

[University Alliance for Racial Justice @UARJ4]

Pure psychopathy. I agree @DrJasonJohnson this cannot be reform or defunded. It must be punished and prosecuted to the highest degree possible.

[Dr. Jason Johnson @DrJasonJohnson]

You can't "Reform" this

@ninaturner It's actually an acronym: Whiteness often kindles enmity.

@DearAuntCrabby @bibliophile68 Never interfere with your opponent when he's trying to destroy himself. We encourage Dr. Oz to keep it up. More please!!

@sandibachom Beyond the audience laughter... Obama & Trump are humble-bragging about murdering other humans. We should be very careful about how humor is used to cover assassinations and U.S. imperialism. The laughs are at the expense of human life. It places an enormous toll on the soul.

@INCapChronicle He's as wrong as that blazer.

It is critically important to pay attention to the past. To what we have been and, without sufficient vigilance, might yet become. /1 https://t.co/4UaWjwnDIz

This is by no means a new goal for the radical right. They have been seeking to end public education since Massive Resistance to desegregation in the 50s. Please read #Democracyinchains by @NancyMacLean5

[Dr. Russ Skiba @RussSkiba]

Three days late, but an important tragedy to remember. As well as the abominable response that there were “fine people on both sides.”

[Dr. Russ Skiba @RussSkiba]

Thanks Sen. Warren for supporting evidence-based policy! If states pass legislation that will limit women's health care and increase the Black maternal mortality rate by 33%, we should at least collect data to understand the human damage they've caused.

Narrower minds, stifled teaching, and foreclosed possibilities are the path-dependent outcomes of the right's racist revolt against the multicultural present and future. White supremacy racism is losing to truth and those of good will.
