✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States as a legal institution. On June 19th, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to finalize the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in the South, two and a half years after it was signed by President Lincoln. The declaration of Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021 marks a continued push towards equity and social justice within our nation as an acknowledgment that there remains more work to do to achieve a more perfect union. #Juneteenth2024 #SWKeyFamilia
