Honoring Juneteenth

This is where it happened -- Ashton Villa.

General Gordon Granger read the Emancipation Proclamation on June 19, 1865, known as Juneteenth ever since.

This is Juneteenth.⁣

This is American history, as well as black history. The end of slavery should be everyone’s celebration as no one is free until all are free.⁣ All should honor it.

Happy Juneteenth! Happy Freedom! Happy Independence!⁣
