In today’s society, technology can isolate individuals, but online gaming has emerged as an unexpected way for individuals to build community with one another. For Jonny Saldana and Zach Smith, online gaming was their way of staying connected with friends during the pandemic, and Charlotte Gaymers Network was born. By leveraging the power of gaming, CGN fosters unity, inclusivity and support within the LGBTQ+ community, providing a safe space for people from all walks of life to gather. 🏳️🌈 Read the full story: https://ow.ly/rMC650Ss6q4
On June 19, 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation was finally read to enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas after it was first issued on January 1, 1863. The Juneteenth flag seen below was created in 1997 and features red, white and blue as its colors, same as the American flag. The star in the center represents Texas, the Lone Star State, but it goes further to represent the freedom of African Americans in all 50 states as well. The burst surrounding the star represents a new beginning following freedom across Galveston and the rest of the country. The arc that goes through the center of the flag horizontally symbolizes a new horizon of opportunity and promise that lies ahead for Black Americans. Today we honor the historic moment that marked the end of slavery in our country. This day is a powerful reminder that while we celebrate freedom, progress and resilience, we know we are still on the journey to equity, equality and justice. There are many ways to get involved and celebrate within our community today and through the weekend. Join one of the celebrations listed here: https://ow.ly/KqyP50Sl5lR
