Posted @withregram @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1865, enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom by Union troops in Galveston, TXtwo years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Known as #Juneteenth, this day is widely celebrated as the end of chattel slavery in the US. Juneteenth marks our country’s second Independence Day. Though it has long been celebrated among the African American community, it is a history that has been marginalized and was larg...ely unknown to the wider public. The legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of deep hope and urgent organizing in uncertain times. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control, some enslaved people would not be free until much later. Our museum is a community space where that spirit can continue to live on where histories like this one can surface, and new stories with equal urgency can be told. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory See more
