Do you know why we celebrate Juneteenth? True or False: Juneteenth marked the official end of slavery in the United States. Answer: False. On June 19, 1865—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation—Union soldiers arrived in Texas to announce that the Civil War was over and slavery had ended throughout the Confederate South. Delaware and Kentucky didn’t end slavery until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865. Some Indigenous reservations continued slavery until negotiating a treaty with the U.S. government in 1866. As we celebrate Juneteenth today, let’s commit to learning with empathy and understanding others' experiences. We must develop and implement equitable solutions in our problem-solving efforts. By working towards these goals, we can create a brighter, more inclusive future and undo the harms caused by systemic racism. Let's honor this day with celebration and renewed dedication to justice and equality for all. ✊🏾❤️🕊️ #Juneteenth #EqualityForAll #Justice #CelebrateFreedom #Juneteenth2024 #UWAYAC #UnitedWeThrive
