“A forgotten feature of the Statue of Liberty is an apt symbol for how we treat our history. There's a broken shackle and chains at her feet for a reason.” #Juneteenth #Emancipation https://t.co/lr8euNj25Y

MN State Rep. Ruth Richardson (DFL), a descendant of slaves, says Juneteenth is not just about painful history but how Black Americans found joy.

Good morning: To all the Wypipo complaining about Juneteenth, TOO BAD. My ancestors were working on that day you claim was about freedom. July 4th. Since it bothers you so much take your asses to work. You owe us that.

Not only a historic day for America, but also a historic day for the @USArmy. On this day in 1865, Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, informing the people of Texas that "all slaves are free." pic.twitter.com/A7Sw2hr163— Department of Defense 🇺🇸 (@DeptofDefense) June 19, 2022
Last week, I got to bring my kid and my boys to the @WhiteHouse for the first-ever Juneteenth Concert on the South Lawn. So special to be able to share this historic moment with them . Thank you, President @JoeBiden and Vice President @KamalaHarris for the invitation. We will… pic.twitter.com/6gDaHNiwJb
