Juneteenth 2022 Message from DelDems
BlogToday our nation is celebrating Juneteenth, commemorating June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers carried the news of the Emancipation Proclamation to the last of the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas telling them that they had been freed from slavery.
I cannot imagine hearing that news and not knowing what to do, where to live, how to earn, or my family’s newfound rights under the law.
