Today we celebrate Juneteenth! June 19, known as Juneteenth, is the day we celebrate the last enslaved people on Unites States soil being freed. Across our branches we've prepared displays of recommended books to learn more about the history and experience of African Americans in the United States then and now. We also have the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment displayed at all branches available to be read in full. Read to educate yourself. Read to understand. Read to stay informed. Read Black authors. #Juneteenth #blacklivesmatter #osceolalibrary #librarydisplay #librariesofinstagram #africanamerican #america #slavery #juneteenth2020 #freedom #endofslavery #americanhistory #blackauthors #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnwyuCJRiu/?igshid=1dhzenf5x6gys

@thekinseycollection 🙏🏾 Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19th, 1865 that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official on January 1st, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the enslaved population in Texas due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. Freedom finally came after a proclamation by General Granger solidified the emancipation of the quarter-million enslaved people in the state. These images are from a larger selection of early ambryotypekw and tintype photographs in @thekinseycollection. Taken during the post-Civil War period of Reconstruction, these elegant portraits portray newly freed African Americans dressed in their best for the photographer. In many ways these photos represent the hopes and dreams of a people, who for so long were denied the right to even have hopes and dreams. With freedom came the urgency to find family that had been sold away, to create businesses and community, participate in the political process, and to cast off the vestiges of slavery. When The Kinsey Collection acquired these historical images they came without descriptive documentation on the subjects in the photographs - thus the names of these incredible people have been lost to history. However, when viewed together, these portraits provide a collective snapshot of African Americans seeking to achieve the American Dream, envisioning a better life for themselves and their families shortly after the end of slavery in the United States. On this day especially, we honor our ancestors who did so much, with so little. Happy Juneteenth from @thekinseycollection. #supportblackart #thekinseycollection #kinseyuntold #juneteenth #juneteenth2020 #africanamericanhistory #africanamericanart #blackhistory #mythofabsence #americanhistory #americanart #history #fineart #art #education #museum #exhibition #becauseofthemwecan #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoltAdhLql/?igshid=1hya8g126dqoi

Altar for victims of police brutality at the Juneteenth Festival in Leimert Park 6/19/20

#BlackLove x @joynavon:⠀ ⠀ ・・・⠀ ⠀ Juneteenth 2020 was supposed to be our wedding day 💍 A year and a half ago we chose this date because we felt it best represented one of the most important things to us, black freedom ✊🏾 When the world shifted, we decided to postpone our "big day" until we could safely unite and celebrate with family and friends. I'm going to be honest, that was a hard pill to swallow! Lord knows I try my best not to question his decisions and looking back now, ironically– I'm happy with how things are turning out.⠀ ⠀ We're living in a time where there are so many unknowns. People are sick, unemployed, and fighting for justice.. but, I really feel this year was necessary. We needed 2020 to remind us of all the things we take for granted and also, all the things we need to work on. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3: 5-6⠀ ⠀ We're still here Papa 🥺🤎 @true_artistry 6 years and counting and you knew I was your wife from the start. I'm so thankful to have you. I pray the Lord keeps you with me. Thank you for all that you have been, all that you are and all that you will be. We never rushed to the altar, why start now? We've always been bonded in spirit. You're my soulmate and it shows, everyone knows it. You're already my husband. June 19, 2021 will just be proof 👰🏾✨ #BridgetoBerkeley #Juneteenth2020⠀ ⁣⠀ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Thank you for sharing your love with us! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Want a CHANCE to be featured??⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Tag 🏷 is in your post or use the #luvblacklove so we can search you!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Please no DMs or Email submissions. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6CE2CFSWG/?igshid=o33wuw5xlklu
