On this day in 1865, slaves in Texas were notified by Union Civil War soldiers about the abolition of slavery. This was 2.5 years after the final Emancipation Proclamation which freed all enslaved Black Americans.
Happy #Juneteenth
@NandikaDSouza Parts 5-8 of H.B. No. 3979 are genuinely concerning to me. There is an awareness that educators need to have to reach their students and if they do not, I believe they can do more harm than good.
Yikes! There is so much information that is omitted from history books and now teachers will not be able to talk about how the past has influenced the present.
History can not be ignored or omitted just because it is uncomfortable.

In the dead of night, the Texas Senate passed a bill that will effectively ban public school teachers from talking about racism, white supremacy or current events.
It already passed the House. On its way to be signed into law now. https://t.co/fUFNeHVQP0

Sanctification rarely looks like an immediate ceasing of a particular sin. It more often looks like an increase in the distance between repeated sins, and a decrease in the distance between committing them and confessing them. God is so patient with his children.
