I understand what you are saying but you don't think this should have been taught like history or be taught to us during our black history skit? I knew about June 19 but I'm 49 an I'm speaking as a black woman. If they not going to tell the story the way you just told it (every time June 19 come ☝) make it make sense that it's not us just celebrating with white people cuz we stupid.

Oh, I learned so much from this talk. Thank you. And--I gre up in a little town near Galveston, Texas 1946-1964--and it was very segregated then.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I'm from Galveston, and never heard of Juneteenth until I was in my 30s, 20 years after moving north. Not in any childhood schooling, or even college, even after we moved away from the south. It's my belief it was suppressed, just as we were taught misinformation regarding enslaved people, and the war. I'm so pleased to hear Dr. Garrett-Scott's lesson here.

[@p.w.7493]

That's why I support teaching Black History in schools. It's important to celebrate all history as without our history, we're incomplete!

[@jesusismyjoy7102]

@@cynhanrahan4012 you never heard of it because it’s a damn lie. This is nothing but Democratic leftist distraction propaganda. My lineage is Mississippi Choctaw ..My elders told me that they knew nothing about slavery as the way it was taught to us in school and through media. My grandmother, great grandmother said that they picked cotton and were sharecroppers paid to do the work that they did. Slavery did happen but not the way they tell it...it was indentured servitude = AKA employment minimum wage work. So called black American people are not African they’re indigenous to America and need to stop calling themselves African American. This is a fictional holiday to pacify so called black Americans mind from the fact that this land called America belongs to them they were already here.

@@realgtalktv_5892 he/she wasn't taught this in school, bcz what we were taught in school was revisionist history.

Mississippi's economy was built on slavery and the state had the largest enslaved population in the country at the start of the Civil War. So why in the hell would he/she know anything about this, bcz we he grew up in the south were not taught the real history of America and, the southern dixiecrats made sure of that would be case.

When people tell me they didn't know about Juneteenth it just reaffirms the irony of the day. It took 2 years for slaves to know they were free. That level of withholding information from our community was echoed for years past Jim Crow. The education of our people is the only way we can become stronger together. Rise up, people. Don't let anyone tell you the media wanted to highlight Juneteenth. stay unified. Stay informed. Stay strong.

I am 46 and I heard people say Juneteenth but I didn’t know what it meant. People say how don’t you know about Juneteenth? I respond by saying my mother didn’t know to teach me about it and it was not taught anywhere in public school. So I didn’t know about it until I was an adult. About one year ago during the covid quarantine. I hope that now Juneteenth will be added to the textbooks along with Jim Crow Laws! You have a national federal holiday that is not even mentioned in the textbooks. This is unacceptable.

[@marilynwillett804]

Rise up? GOD THE CREATOR never said to rise up, Get rid of all bitterness and pride. Marry your lover, don't raise the kids in a fatherless home, WORK for what you want, socialism [welfare] is not of God. Even the disciples of Jesus made it known that they all worked for their needs, not a burden on anyone. ONLY with Godly morals will you ''rise up''. Look at every black nation. Education is good but it isn't enough, it isn't the answer. Blacks are praising the filth of the unGodly black celebrities, Stop looking at whites, look to yourselves.

The pilgrims translated the ancient scriptures into English for the saving of souls. Kjv Bible. They suffered terrible persecution, imprisonment, torture and starvation then Jesus brought them to America as the new covenant promise land. Genesis 12. Human smugglers deplete our resources the same back then as they do today, but they have always been criminals. 11 states seceded from the union, then rejoined the union when the people elected new government officials to replace them. Abraham Lincoln was a white Republican president who was assassinated after he signed Emancipation Proclamation and not by his own party.

I Thank God, for Everything that Disrupted the Slave Economy. Integration was the Worst thing that happened to independent, Black communities. In Venice, California, where low-income Black Americans owned homes ON THE BEACH, during the 70's and 80's, Gentrification, has pushed those Homeowners of Color OUT! Now, their homes have been economically Red-Lined, and cost $1,000,000's of dollars. Trickeration has replaced the melanin that resided in that neighborhood.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE SONGS OF THE EMANCIPATION AND JUNETEENTH?

[@Bellaanbi]

Amazing so many companies, universities, state and local governments are now starting to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. A continuing refrain, as she said, of a fight for civil rights. Hopefully one day the fighting can be won, and we can truly be one America, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Blessings and Happy Juneteenth Weekend! This 156 year old celebration is the 1st Juneteeth to be recognized as a federal holiday!! 1. Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, freed ONLY the slaves in these rebellion states of the Confederacy: ▶Mississippi, ▶Alabama, ▶North Carolina, ▶South Carolina, ▶Florida, ▶Georgia and ▶Texas However most enslaved Blacks did not gain their freedom in those rebellion/southern states and the Emancipation Proclamation was largely ignored and generally only enforced when Union forces overtook those Confederate areas. 2. June 19, 1865 --- Union forces arrive in Galveston, Texas. Blacks are liberated by the Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth is established. Juneteenth is the longest most continuous celebration of our liberation. The celebration has come to commemorate the end of slavery but it is not the end of all slavery in Texas or the U.S. 3. The 13th Amendment, abolished U.S. slavery 155 years ago in Dec. 1865. The last slaves in the U.S. were liberated a full six months after Texas' 1865 Juneteenth. The 13th Amendment legally abolished U.S. slavery freeing Blacks in: ▶New Jersey and the border states of ▶Kentucky and ▶Delaware (where the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation did not apply) also in the ⏩Confederate states of: ▶Mississippi ▶Alabama ▶North Carolina ▶South Carolina ▶Florida ▶Georgia and (other parts of) ▶Texas Texas did not even ratify the amendment in 1865 when it became the law of the land. Texas did not ratify for a full five years later in 1870. ⏩ Additionally, Black slaves held in ▶Indian Territory were not even liberated for months after Dec. 1865. #blackhistorymatters #happyjuneteenth #juneteenth

Happy Juneteenth 2020!!! ✊🏿❤🖤💚✊🏿

That makes no sense, that isn't even a number. We have black lawyers, law makers, judges, college professors so why are there so many black men in prison?

[@freshstart4423]

They don't want to repent and get out of sin. Acts 2:38. They follow false speakers, preachers and prophets Jeremiah 23.

[@blakadvoyo9219]

Man, wtf are you talking about?!?

[@freshstart4423]

@@blakadvoyo9219 we always had black leaders, lawyers, law makers, college professors, mayors, police chiefs since 1700s before he Declaration of Independence. Look up the history of NYC, established by free black people who became victims of black gangs. Its battle against corruption, immoral people have no morals.

Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott, God Bless you and thank you for your hard work and contagious energy about the history of Juneteenth. Have you considered publishing a textbook to be required reading in our public school systems?

America is not the beacon of freedom, but its people are.

[@perrycollier4684]

I grew up in Texas and Juneteenth was always celebrated by Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Of course it took a while for news to spread from Galveston, Texas to other states. Tha real question is when did tha rest of black America start to recognize this day?? I know they knew nothing about it in Alabama until tha 1990's.

[@reachfothesky]

Very Happy Juneteenth 2021❤🖤💚

Repent in Jesus name. The human smuggling depleted our resources back then the same as today. They are still criminal outlaws. People romanticize gang bangers, pirates and smugglers protecting them same as today. Stop following false prophets Isaiah 30:1-4

at this point we need to talk about "adversaries " and their tactics in this day and time and how to UNIFY and combat them. This is what i think our ancestors would want more than any day off or celebration. # mytwoblackcents
