Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned of their emancipation, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Despite legal freedom, Black people continue to face modern-day forms of enslavement, especially through mass incarceration and economic marginalization caused by systemic inequalities upheld by capitalism. The legacy of slavery has deeply shaped capitalism, exploiting Black labor and continuing racial disparities that persist today. It's crucial that we recognize Juneteenth not just as a historical event but as a call to action for collective efforts toward Black liberation. This includes addressing economic inequalities and challenging systemic racism in all its forms. It's essential to continually educate ourselves, amplify Black voices, and actively build a world where there is safety and liberation of all Black people. #Juneteenth
