Happy Juneteenth! Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free – two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom, but a reminder of the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the Black community. It is a day to reflect on the struggles and achievements of African Americans and recognize the ongoing fight for equality and justice. As we celebrate, let's educate ourselves about the history and significance of Juneteenth, support Black-owned businesses, and continue to advocate for a more inclusive and equitable society. Freedom is a continuous journey; together, we can make a difference.

#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.

To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this Black History Month all the more critical. 👊🏿

While the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, it took over two more years of Civil War for slavery to end throughout the entirety of the South, with the last state, Texas, finally acknowledging it's abolishment on June 19, 1865. This is why we recognize today as Freedom Day, or Juneteenth. In order for us to build a more equitable future for all, it is important to acknowledge that the road walked by Black and White Americans has been and continues to be very different. Today, on Juneteenth, let's celebrate the victories of the past, but also recognize the challenges of the present and commit to a better, more equitable future for all. Especially Black Americans.

Black History Month is a time to continue to focus on and appreciate the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of US history from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today. It is also a time to challenge and dialogue about the systemic and blatant racism that persists in the US today. #growth #diversity #blackhistorymonth #blackheritagemonth #blackheritage #endracism #endsystemicoppression #endsystemicracism #celebrateblackhistory #celebrateblackheritage Visit blackhistorymonth.gov for articles about Cultural Expressions, Black Artists to Know, Veterans History, and more.
