On June 19, 1865, in Galveston, TX, the last enslaved African Americans were finally given notice of their freedom. 155 years later, we're still on the long road to equality, equity, and fairness for all. We can't rest until the promise of this nation is fulfilled. #Juneteenth | Joe Biden

Happy Juneteenth! Today we honor Black freedom, reflect on our history, and celebrate the resilience of the Black community. On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing the end of slavery for more than 250,000 enslaved Black Americans. This powerful moment became known as Juneteenth, now a federal holiday and a cornerstone of Black history and liberation. Khara had the opportunity to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,”
