“Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree.”
Happy Juneteenth! 🇺🇸

And we all lived happily ever after- the end!😂
Freedom with no substance. No education, cash, healthcare, even clothes. The Greek so-called democracy had slaves, just not a majority of ones imported from Africa. So, is democracy dead? Far from it. It is majority rule. It is imperfect. It is messy. It can be quite ugly. It can be beautiful.
