Juneteenth represents the moment when enslaved Black Americans deep in Confederate territory finally learned of their freedom two years after Emancipation Proclamation. I am proud of Oakland’s deep history in the struggle for Black liberation and we are committed to continuing that fight until everyone has a fair shot...

When Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, it took over 900 days for freedom to reach enslaved people deep in America's south. Juneteenth is a day to honor the contributions of Black Americans, remember the past, and recommit to a more just future. Happy Juneteenth!

For 160 years, we've been acknowledging the liberation from enslaved peoples who had to wait two more years for their freedom from President Lincoln after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today in Buffalo, we marked the historic 50th year of this community celebration, honoring Juneteenth and recommitting to the call of justice for all.

On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger delivered an order to finally enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing 250,000 enslaved Black Texans. And it was 22 years after Juneteenth, on Aug. 15, 1887, that former slaves founded Eatonville – "the Town the Freedom Built.” Today, I’m excited to join Eatonville Mayor Ruthi Critton to celebrate that freedom and to continue the fight for true justice and equality for all. Happy Juneteenth!

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Here is your #BlackAmerican history tip of the day! Ben Haith designed the Juneteenth flag in 1997 as a banner of freedom and resilience for Black Americans. The flag features a star symbolizing a new beginning and an arc representing a pathway to freedom. It serves as a powerful emblem of Black American history and the ongoing fight for equality, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States. The flag is a significant symbol during Juneteenth celebrations, reflecting pride and a commitment to justice and equity within the Black American community. #KushNation🔴🔱⚫️

The story and celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom should belong to some and not others. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality. Today, we celebrate all of the joy of Juneteenth. And we recommit ourselves to ensuring the promise of America belongs to all of us.

On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice. At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy. Our documentary explores Dr. Pace's life, his work, and his decades-long commitment to the ongoing fight for liberation. This Juneteenth, let us not forget that pursuit of freedom is not buried in the past. It is the responsibility of our future.

Juneteenth commemorates not the day that Black people won freedom in this country, but the day Black people finally received word of that freedom, more than two years after Emancipation. While we celebrate freedom on Juneteenth fully and unabashedly, we are also reminded that the powerful will try to rob us of our freedoms if left to their own devices. But the power of the people is absolute— as long as we continue to exercise it, and guard against the forces that seek to divide us. Thank you to National Action Network and Reverend Al Sharpton for allowing me to share my thoughts with the congregation on this sacred day.
