Juneteenth is not taught in American history but it should be. I know it is 2021 but I am trying to understand why those responsible for sharing black history in their curriculum won't do the right thing. I mean, come on you guys (wypipo)! Why would you force black folks to only learn your history and not their own? Or hide and keep a lot of their history from them? We know America hasn't fully dealt with, slavery. America you have got to release those spirits of European haughtiness. June 19, 1865 is known as Black Independence Day. Black folks in Galveston, Texas were completely freed from slavery. The slaves in Galveston, Texas found out a few years later in the month of June (Juneteenth) they were allowed to pursue their freedoms. General Gordon Granger was responsible for telling the slaves in Galveston they were no longer oppressed and controlled. They were free! It was time to party! President Lincoln wrote a document called the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1,1863 declaring an end to slavery throughout the United States of America. Galveston rejected the news of the memo. In light of not having enough representation of Union soldiers to enforce the new law in the state of Texas, the slave owners in Galveston opposed the law. Some of the masters in Texas did not want to let all that free labor go! They just could not rearrange their brains for the change.
This is why we celebrate June 19th. This is why we organize and fight against those who wish to cut off our freedoms and lust after building more prisons to plot and scheme against broken poor melanated people.
'I GOT A BLACK FISK BALLED UP AND IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME IT'S FOR ALL OF US"

AS I WAS SAYING LAST YEAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO SAY, AGAIN AND AGAIN...
"How are you going to get mad when people don't stand for an American flag
that don't even honor it's own American citizens, who pay taxes, and are not fully treated as American equals. Every since black people of African descent were kidnapped from their homeland and brought to this American nation, raped in European colonization, they ain't never been given full access to the same rights as white people. They all know it! Preachers know it but will not show it. A blind man can see it. Politicians have witnessed the difference but for some reason are not willing to put on the armor of courage to make the difference. Why? It took the death of George Floyd for the other part of America to realize that all lives does not matter unless black lives matter. You would have thought all of the horrific, animalistic murders of black men like George Stinney and Emmett Till would have given America a renewed mindset and a change of heart. Here we are still pressing the repeat button again! I am hopeful for the legislation that is coming. I am thankful to know we have folks of all skin colors who are on the right side of history fighting together to make changes."
HAPPY JUNETEENTH
