On This Edition of Fighting The Power, we celebrate Juneteenth before the Trump regime eliminates the holiday
Dating back to 1865, Juneteenth commemorates the day when 250,000 slaves in the state of Texas, which became the last bastion for slavery during the final days of the Civil War, were declared free by the U.S. Army
The profound significance of Juneteenth lies not only in its historical roots but also in its enduring message of resilience and liberation. It serves as a powerful reminder of the long struggle for civil rights and equality, and provides a moment for all communities to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain. The day is now marked with celebrations, parades, educational events, and acts of collective remembrance, ensuring the stories of those who fought for freedom are preserved and honored for generations to come.
