Today we celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved people were free - over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in the long struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans. While the abolition of slavery was a major milestone, we know the journey towards racial justice is ongoing. On this day, we recommit ourselves to fighting racism, upholding human rights, and building a more equitable society for all. #rbwn #rocklandbwn #juneteenth2024 #equalityforall #racialjustice

Happy Juneteenth! On Juneteenth, we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and reflect on the ongoing struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the freedom of all enslaved people. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. As we observe Juneteenth, it is crucial to remember that until we are all free, no one is truly free. The pursuit of liberty and equality is a collective effort, and we must continue to stand together against all forms of oppression and discrimination. Today, let's celebrate progress, educate ourselves and others, and commit to a more inclusive and just society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EqualityForAll
