Repost @weargrits Happy Juneteenth!!!!! "Nobody's free until everybody's free." - Fannie Lou Hamer ・ Today we reflect and celebrate, 154 years ago June 19, 1865, enslaved African American on Galveston Island, Texas, had been declared free two and half years earlier but didn’t know it. With the United States still divided over the institution of slavery and recovering after the Civil War, members of the Confederacy weren’t eager to spread the word. ・ Only after Union soldiers, led by Major Gen. Gordon Granger, worked their way South for more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation did word reach Galveston Island. On June 19, 1865, known as Juneteenth—a melding of the day’s month and date—the last remaining slaves in America were declared free. Juneteenth, America’s “second Independence Day,” is now celebrated around the country. It is officially observed in 43 states and is a state holiday in Texas, home of the last to know. ・ #Juneteenth isn't just an obscure black holiday. It should be a national celebration. ・ #beentrill #truegrit #texas #freedomforall #independence #jubilee #freedomday #trill #juneteenth #vintageinspiration #Vintage #thesouth #thegreenbookproject
