What Juneteenth lessons still apply to our lives today?🤔 - - - - Juneteenth marks the day that word got to the remaining slaves and their owners in the United States that all people that had previously been enslaved were now free! The emancipation proclamation that granted this freedom was issued on January 1, 1863 whereas Juneteenth wasn’t until June 19th, 1865. That’s 2 and a half years of freedom that the final slaves did not get to experience, simply because they didn’t know. There were absolutely those who knew those slaves were free but simply didn’t inform them to use them to their advantage until the absolute final minute. There is a silver lining to this unfortunate history in that it gives us all lessons that we can live by today: 1. Oftentimes, people recognize opportunities (that are uniquely for you) long before you do. 2. Some individuals will cast a shadow over your greatness in order to benefit from it. 3. Just because you don’t recognize your power/excellence/greatness does not mean that you don’t possess it. 4. Don’t count on people to proactively tell you what you need to know; ask questions, research, and investigate. 5. Just because you don’t see it today does NOT mean that your ultimate success isn’t already in motion!

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved people were free - over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in the long struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans. While the abolition of slavery was a major milestone, we know the journey towards racial justice is ongoing. On this day, we recommit ourselves to fighting racism, upholding human rights, and building a more equitable society for all. #rbwn #rocklandbwn #juneteenth2024 #equalityforall #racialjustice
