ITP V.020 UPDATE: HAPPY JUNETEENTH!

ITP V.020 UPDATE: HAPPY JUNETEENTH!







JUNETEENTH is a special day when the last of slaves were freed in TEXAS, U.S.A.

Post "Emancipation Proclamation" some states still held slaves in the U.S.A and on 6/19/1865 federal orders were sent to free slaves in remaining U.S. states.  







 FROM ED MARKEY (U.S.A. SENATOR IN MASSACHUSETTS): :


Juneteenth is the day that Black Americans enslaved in Texas finally received word of emancipation. Today, the struggle for true Black liberation continues. With Senators Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Tina Smith, I am filing a bill today to make Juneteenth a national holiday.
