To combat misinformation and racism, I have created several critical learning points about Juneteenth for my Big Kids. Here are the five lessons I teach my children as we honor the history and celebrate Juneteenth: 1. The Emancipation Proclamation did not "free the slaves." 2. The 13th Amendment only partially abolished slavery. 3. Black people freed themselves. 4. Honor Mrs. Lee and Black Texans. 5. Black people are still owed acknowledgment, compensation, restitution, and rehabilitation. If you want more resources to teach about Juneteenth, check out my BMAC community. https://lnkd.in/gT7_UxfK I’m Rooting for You Britt
