Commemorate Juneteenth
Today is Juneteenth, which commemorates the legal abolition of slavery in 1865 (three years after the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation). Sadly, Black Americans are far from free in any sense of the word, as we've witnessed with police killings of Black people, environmental racism, & inadequate healthcare (resulting in very high Black maternal mortality rates), to name just a few things. To truly make #BlackLivesMatter & to give freedom to the Black community, we must do more. Here are some ways you can help out:
