I genuinely hate how black people cannot celebrate the END OF SLAVERY without some racists mother fuckers making jokes out of it. GET A LIFE

acab forever bc the only thing preventing my black ass from being a victim of police brutality is sheer luck or divine protection. you can be in the wrong place/time around the wrong pig and still get blamed for being killed. fuck the police

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.

Juneteenth is more than a celebration…it is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and perseverance of Black people. Even after enduring slavery, segregation, discrimination, and every obstacle placed in our path, we continue to rise, create, lead, and inspire. Today we honor those who came before us, those who fought for freedom they were denied, and those whose sacrifices made our progress possible. We celebrate Black excellence, Black culture, Black joy, and the unbreakable spirit that has carried us through generations. Freedom was delayed…but our strength never was. Black history is American history. Black excellence is forever. Have a beautiful Juneteenth, and continue walking in your power, purpose, and pride. ✊🏾🖤❤️💚

Today is Juneteenth.
