Happy Juneteenth!

Juneteenth

Good morning, everyone. Today is Juneteenth. It’s also known as Emancipation Day. It’s a day that while not recognized officially, is noted by historians and scholars.

On June 19th, 1865 when the union soldiers gained control of Galveston, Texas, the formerly enslaved there learned of their freedom.

Just a quick post to acknowledge this important day in Black history. Peace!
