This is unreal. Post Falls’ mayor dismissed Juneteenth as “something that nobody had heard of until five years ago,” and in a 4-2 vote the City Council removed it as a city holiday while restoring Columbus Day. Juneteenth has been celebrated for generations since 1866. A narrow viewpoint doesn’t...

An Idaho mayor recently argued that Juneteenth is something "nobody had heard of until five years ago" while voting to remove it as a city holiday and restore Columbus Day. So the question isn’t whether the holiday is real history It’s whether we’re willing to acknowledge it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

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!

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that freedom in America was never given—it was fought for. The emancipation of Black Americans is not a footnote to our history, it is central to it. Today we honor the struggle, celebrate the progress, and recommit to the work still ahead.

Juneteenth has deep roots in Limestone County, Texas. In the years after 1865, formerly enslaved people began gathering at Comanche Crossing near Mexia to celebrate freedom—what became one of the earliest and largest Juneteenth celebrations in the country. The community later bought the land and renamed it Booker T. Washington Park, where celebrations have continued for over 150 years. It’s also where the term “Juneteenth” was first used. From jubilation to justice—including the tragedy of the Comanche Three in 1981—Limestone County’s Juneteenth is a powerful symbol of resilience, memory, and Black freedom in motion. ✊🏾 #Juneteenth #LimestoneCounty #BlackHistory #TexasRoots #BookerTWashingtonPark

June 19, 1865 marked a turning point in American history and a hard truth that freedom in America has never arrived for everyone all at once. This Juneteenth, let's honor that relentless spirit of liberation and the abolitionists who righteously fought to secure it.

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.
