Juneteenth didn’t mark the end of enslavement in the USA.
Not only did enslavement continue illegally for years, but to this day it remains legal to enslave incarcerated folks— a group that is disproportionately BIPOC.
Happy Juneteenth, but always remember the fight isn’t over.
Okay but actually don't though. Because it can spread to non data center areas and can be very hard to get rid of. Find a very aggressive and hard to kill plant native to your area and plant those near the data centers instead.
— happy juneteenth! ❤️🤍💙✊🏾| a day of profound significant for black americans & a pivotal moment in our history. to commemorate the end of slavery in the u.s. here’s a compilation of juneteenth parades & events spanning from 1979 — 1991 in fort worth, texas.
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
