On June 19th, 1865 the enslaved people in Texas would learn of their freedom marking what we celebrate as Juneteenth. Decades later, the effects of that time are still felt today. For a Houston great-grandfather, he's hoping to get what he says is a missing part of his identity: a birth certificate.

Vivek Ramaswamy rejects one of our most important American holidays and acts like it's insignificant. Juneteenth has been celebrated since 1866, one year after the last remaining enslaved people in the United States learned they were free! The state of Texas has honored it since 1980. Vivek, just because you didn't know about something before it became a national conversation does not mean it didn't exist, crack open a history book please! #juneteenth #emancipationday #independenceday #ohio #vot

بكل فخر واعتزاز، تشرفنا بإنعام جلالة الملك بوسام الاستقلال من الدرجة الأولى، وسام نضعه كمسؤولية قبل أن يكون تكريمًا، ودافعًا لمواصلة العطاء وخدمة الوطن بكل إخلاص 🇯🇴✨

Who is Juneteenth really for? A hidden story beyond the U.S.

The story of our nation is incomplete without the ongoing work of liberation. This Freedom Day, let us honor our ancestors through joy, action, organizing, and reparative policies that bring us closer to freedom. Happy Juneteenth, family!
