🌟Did you know: It wasn’t until June 2021 that Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday? That’s 156 years since one of the most pivotal moments in our nation’s history… This just goes to show the importance of continuing to recognize & celebrate these important milestones in our pursuit of equality and freedom. #juneteenthcelebration #liberationday 🇿🇦
