Happy Juneteenth!✊🏾✨ Today, we celebrate the liberation of enslaved people in the US and are especially grateful for our ancestors who fought for freedom.

Juneteenth is the celebration of enslaved people in Texas finally receiving word of the abolishment of slavery. On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. It wasn't until June 19, 1865, however, that freedom finally came. The proclamation could not be applied to places still under Confederate control, and as a result, enslaved people in Texas would not be free until Union troops arrived in 1865 to announce the executive decree.

The holiday's name is a combination of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. (Wikipedia)

It's interesting to observe the parallel to today's society, where Black, brown, and low-income communities still have hindered access to information and technology that could be a catalyst to thei future. Whether it's access to computers and the internet or websites providing key resources and information lacking readability and accessibility for various needs, there is still work to be done in the intersection of information, equity, and inclusivity, highlighting the importance of Nerdy Diva and partnering institutions and organizations.

Remember freedom isn't free and the marathon continues. 💜🎉
