Happy Juneteenth from LETS GO Boys and Girls! This culturally historic holiday marks the official emancipation of slaves following the American Civil War. Although the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 declared all American slaves as free, the doctrine was unable to be enforced in Confederate territories. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers marched into Galveston Bay, Texas, and decreed the freeing of the state’s slaves. The holiday became known as "Juneteenth" among the newly freed Texans, and over time has become a celebration of independence, solidarity, and empowerment for African-Americans. Today, take some time to learn about our country’s history, look back on how far we have come, and consider how we, as a collective, can continue to make a difference. #Juneteenth2024

THE PERSPECTIVE OF REBELLION AND STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE The Patriot forces during the American Revolution were considered rebels by the British monarchy, as they were seen as defiant and opposing the government's policies. On the American side, Patriots were hailed as liberation heroes, fighting against the injustice of British policies and colonial oppression that restricted human rights. Eventually, after the sustained efforts of the American Revolution, America was able to declare its independence with the support of the 13 colonies that resisted British rule. Sounds are familiar? No double standard please #seedifferentperspective

Today is Juneteenth. A celebration of freedom. It commemorates the end of slavery. It was on this day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, when the state’s enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom; over two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Let the significance of today inspire us all to build a more equitable and just world. #juneteenth2024

🇺🇸⚔️ Remembering the American Civil War: Honoring Sacrifice and Struggle ⚔️🇺🇸 The American Civil War, a defining chapter in the history of the United States, was a period of profound conflict and transformation. Lasting from 1861 to 1865, this bloody and divisive conflict pitted the Northern states, known as the Union, against the Southern states, known as the Confederacy, over issues of slavery, states' rights, and the future of the nation. Despite the immense human cost and the deep scars left by the war, it ultimately paved the way for profound social and political change. The abolition of slavery, the preservation of the Union, and the expansion of civil rights for all Americans are among its enduring legacies. As we reflect on the American Civil War, let us honor the courage and resilience of those who fought and died on both sides. Let us also reaffirm our commitment to building a more just, inclusive, and united nation, where the lessons of the past guide us toward a brighter future. #AmericanCivilWar #RememberingThePast #BuildingABetterFuture 🇺🇸⚔️ https://bit.ly/3T1ZuCk

Juneteenth is observed annually on June 19th, marking the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, when they announced the end of slavery. This proclamation, coming two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, was delayed due to Texas's isolation and resistance. Beginning in Texas, Juneteenth has since become a nationwide celebration honoring freedom, reflecting on African American history, and promoting equality and justice. I'm sharing this post to contribute to awareness and understanding.Apologies for the delayed post on June 22nd 😊#Juneteenth#I! love History#

1: On November 10, 1766, the Royal Governor of New Jersey (before NJ became a state), William Franklin, signed a charter for the creation of Queen's College in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

The markets are closed today in honor of Juneteenth. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
