I repost this sign every year on June 19th, but instead I want to draw your attention to this incredible woman holding this sign 👆. @opalswalk2dc is a 93-year old activist, who at the age of 89, started a campaign to walk to Washington, DC from her home in Fort Worth, TX, in an effort to get Juneteenth named a national holiday. She traveled two and a half miles each day to symbolize the two and a half years that black Texans waited to be freed from slavery. 155 years ago, on June 19, 1865, the message arrived in Galveston, TX, where black people were still enslaved, even though Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, abolishing slavery, 2.5 years earlier. This is sad to admit, but I didn’t know Juneteenth existed up until recently, and I figured there are many who follow along that were unaware too, so today I want to bring awareness to this important day in history, and to this incredible woman. Please visit Tuna’s stories to sign her petition to make #juneteenth a national holiday. It’s her dream, so let’s honour her and those before her to make it a reality. We can do it!」6月20日 6時38分
