Tomorrow's the day. Let's create a wave of kindness, of healing, of hope. #GivingTuesday

Today, history has been made as #Juneteenth, becomes a federal holiday in the US. Here are 7 books Facing History staff are reading to honor the legacy of Juneteenth & deepen our learning on the many meanings of Black liberation, progress & resistance. ow.ly/dMId50FcSKd

For decades, Opal Lee, 94, fought for the U.S. to recognize June 19 as a federal holiday. Meet the Grandmother of Juneteenth. trib.al/Peu1rpa

#Juneteenth represents a day of connection, pride and hope. In a new blog post, Start Early's Chandra Ewell reflects on what Juneteenth means to her and shares resources for how to learn more about it's important history and how we can honor the holiday. bit.ly/3vBNVnk

Tomorrow is #Juneteenth, recognizing the day in history when Union troops in Galveston, TX informed the enslaved African Americans of their freedom. Emancipation alone cannot erase the system of anti-Black oppression that slavery formed. The fight for racial equity isn't over.

Even though the United States celebrates July 4 as their independence, people were still enslaved through the end of the Civil War. The official liberation day is recognized as June 19, 1965, when the last enslaved African Americans were informed of their freedom.

Today we honor and remember the life and memory of George Floyd. If your students are turning to your classroom today as a space to reflect and discuss consider using this teaching idea to help. ow.ly/mGWm50EUhko

It’s been 1 year since the murder of George Floyd. His killing wasn't an isolated incident: last year there were 241 fatal police shootings of Black people in the US. And in this same year, 2x as many Black, Hispanic & Native Americans died of COVID than their white counterparts.

It's been one year since George Floyd's death. We are happy to see @POTUS support our call to restrict excessive force in policing with the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (intro’d by @RepKarenBass) and urge the Senate to pass this vital bill.

The Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd took his final breaths will be transformed into an outdoor festival on the anniversary of his death. “We’re going to be celebrating 365 days of strength in the face of injustice.” ow.ly/TqrP50EUIwx

"According to Shot in the Head, a report released in September 2020 by Physicians for Human Rights, during the protests between May 26 and July 27 of last year, U.S. law enforcement officials shot 115 people in the head with 'less lethal weapons.'"

The Global Pandemic Prevention and Biosecurity Act will counter the causes of pathogen spillover and build early warning systems for public health preparedness. If you're in the U.S., call on Congress to co-sponsor and enact it: bit.ly/3fjg51L #ProtectWildlifeProtectUs
