Over 160 years ago, more than two years after the emancipation proclamation was signed, Union troops finally arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas to bring the news of freedom to 250,000+ enslaved African Americans.
Today and everyday we celebrate black excellence, resilience and strength. It also serves as an ongoing reminder to stay educated and to fight for racial equity within our communities.
Happy Freedom Day ❤️🖤💚
