Vivek Ramaswamy rejects one of our most important American holidays and acts like it's insignificant. Juneteenth has been celebrated since 1866, one year after the last remaining enslaved people in the United States learned they were free! The state of Texas has honored it since 1980. Vivek, just because you didn't know about something before it became a national conversation does not mean it didn't exist, crack open a history book please! #juneteenth #emancipationday #independenceday #ohio #vot

The story of our nation is incomplete without the ongoing work of liberation. This Freedom Day, let us honor our ancestors through joy, action, organizing, and reparative policies that bring us closer to freedom. Happy Juneteenth, family!

Today, we honor Juneteenth a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice in America. On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free. Juneteenth marks this historic moment and stands as a powerful reminder that freedom delayed is freedom denied. It also reminds us that the work of building a more just and equitable society is an ongoing responsibili

This Juneteenth, let’s remember that the fight for freedom is ongoing. Even after slavery was technically abolished, segregation was widespread. Desegregation was not a given. Notable intellectual figures like Hannah Arendt, who escaped Germany in WW2, defended the “right” to segregated education even after Brown v.
