In 2016, at age 89, Opal Lee—the "Grandmother of Juneteenth"—made a symbolic walk from Fort Worth to Washington, DC, to advocate for federal recognition of #Juneteenth. Later this year, she will celebrate her 100th birthday. More about her life and legacy: s.si.edu/3Qv2sSj

Today we mark an important day, Juneteenth. Not just because it is a federal holiday, but because it’s part of our history. Today marks the day when news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a day to think about the importance of freedom and the work that still needs to be done in the name of freedom, the work that so many are working to ensure. As Opal Lee, the grandmother of this very holiday reminds us, we must learn from our history so that it never happens again. We must continue to learn the lessons of the past, so that we can be kinder, better, and more informed. We must continue to learn from what was, in order to make the future better. If we do not learn from the past, then we cannot keep moving forward! #juneteenth

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice. At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy. Our documentary explores Dr. Pace's life, his work, and his decades-long commitment to the ongoing fight for liberation. This Juneteenth, let us not forget that pursuit of freedom is not buried in the past. It is the responsibility of our future.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay. The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built. True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come. As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized. Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

I think it’s important to vote for Zohran Mamdani’s @NYCMayor slate (you can still early vote this weekend! @DarializaforNY @bradlander @claireforny) not just bc they will work as partners to his agenda here in NYC, but also bc the AIPAC candidates (like Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat) need to lose. There needs to be consequences for these hacks.
