Today we here at Prism wanted to take some time to talk about Juneteenth and it's importance in history. June 19th, 1865, marks the day that slaves were decreed free in the last settlement of Galveston Texas, effectively ending any legal slavery in the United States, Juneteenth, or Freedom Day as it is often referred to, stands as a powerful reminder of delayed justice and the enduring strength and resilience of black communities. Juneteenth isn't just a historical marker but is a call to dismantle systems of oppression that black folks face, in all its forms.
Take some time today to look through these slides and take some time every day to uplift black owned businesses, artists, performers, and communities.
And to our black friends, know that you are loved, seen, and we will continue the fight for equality together.
