As advocates for justice and equality, Not Our Native Daughters recognizes Juneteenth as a pivotal moment in American history, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. We stand in solidarity with our African American brothers and sisters, honoring their resilience and celebrating their cultural heritage on this significant day. Together, we continue to strive for a future where all marginalized communities experience true freedom and equality. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. It marks the day—June 19, 1865—when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing the end of slavery, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, Juneteenth celebrates freedom, emphasizes African American history and culture, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #LiberationDay #BlackLivesMatter #CelebrateFreedom #EndSlavery #EqualityNow #JusticeForAll #Juneteenth2021 #FreedomForAll

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a profound reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality. #Juneteenth is a time to honor the resilience and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and encourages reflection on the journey toward equality and justice. This day is not just about remembering the past, but also about acknowledging the work still needed to achieve true freedom for all. While slavery was officially abolished over 150 years ago, forms of modern slavery still exist today, including human trafficking, forced labor, and exploitation. These injustices affect millions worldwide, including vulnerable populations within the U.S. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder that the fight for freedom and justice continues. On Juneteenth, let’s celebrate the progress made and commit to fighting modern slavery. Educate yourself, support organizations working to end exploitation, and advocate for policies that protect vulnerable individuals. By doing so, we honor the legacy of Juneteenth and continue the fight for true freedom and equality for all.
