From 1865 to Today: The Evolving Legacy of Juneteenth Let's talk about Juneteenth, a day that marks a pivotal moment in American history. Since becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has sparked conversations and celebrations nationwide. But why is this day so significant? Juneteenth, a blend of "June" and "nineteenth," commemorates June 19, 1865, the day when Union soldiers brought the long-awaited news of freedom to enslaved people in Texas — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It's a stark reminder of the resilience and strength of those who fought for liberty. Today, Juneteenth is more than a historical date, and we recognize it by supporting Black-owned businesses, listening to Black voices, and educating ourselves about the significance of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth: A Celebration of Unity and Truth As we celebrate Juneteenth, it’s crucial to shine a light on the black experience, especially here in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). I am incredibly proud to be a Juneteenth Celebration of Unity Event sponsor and to serve on the Village in the Valley Board of Directors, where we are committed to bringing awareness and unity to our community. Recently, while in Austin, I was reminded of the importance of preserving the true history of Juneteenth. Watching the news, I heard a report that highlighted a significant aspect of our past. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, yet the Civil War continued until April 1865. It was not until two months later that enslaved people in Texas were notified of their freedom. This delay is often attributed to slow communication, but the reality is that it was an intentional decision influenced by economic factors. The slaves were legally free in 1863, but they were kept in bondage for two additional years due to these circumstances. As we commemorate this day, let’s commit to telling the full story and understanding the true context of Juneteenth. This helps us appreciate the resilience and strength of those who suffered and fought for their freedom. Today, let’s celebrate unity and the ongoing fight for equality, and remember the importance of truth in our shared history. #Juneteenth #BlackExperience #History

Former Diplomat | Advocate for Intercultural Engagement in Education, Youth Empowerment and Capacity Building, and Foreign Language Acquisition 🇱🇨
👉🏾The Haitian Revolution brought an end to slavery and French colonial rule in Haiti in 1804. 👉🏾 In Saint Lucia and the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean, our enslaved ancestors were freed in 1834, a year after the official proclamation. 👉🏾 The formal end of slavery in the Spanish-speaking countries of South and Central America occurred during pivotal independence movements which began as early as the 1810s, with slavery ending in most of these countries by the 1850s. Slavery in Puerto Rico ended in 1873, and in Cuba in 1886. 👉🏾 After a 10-year transition period from the initial proclamation, enslaved persons in Suriname and the Dutch Antilles were freed in 1873. 👉🏾 In 1888, Brazil was the last country in the Americas where slavery came to an end. ---------- Juneteenth (June 19) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States which is an important part of this timeline. Occurring in 1865, this places the US as one of the last countries to end slavery in the Americas. This TedX animation was beautifully and intentionally crafted and gives a comprehensive overview of the end of slavery in the United States and the continued fight for racial equality for Black Americans to this day.
