On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African-Americans were freed in Galveston Bay, Texas, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for freedom. The lateral of this day is our own Emancipation Day in the U.S. Virgin Islands when slavery ended under Danish rule on July 3. 1848. Though separated by miles, our histories are connected through the shared legacy of slavery and the enduring struggle for equality and justice. Let us reflect on the sacrifices of our ancestors and be reminded of our historical fight for freedom. | Posted on 19/Jun/2024 17:30:11
