?? Community Solutions, Inc. celebrates Juneteenth! ?? On June 19, 1865, Union troops announced in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved African Americans were free. This day, known as Juneteenth, marks a pivotal moment in history—emancipation from slavery in the U.S.? Our CEO Fernando Mu?iz reflects, “Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It is a celebration of freedom and a reminder that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. This Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity and justice.” As an organization working in the criminal and juvenile justice systems, Community Solutions, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that justice is not delayed for the people we serve. Our mission is to ensure that when individuals gain physical freedom, they also experience every other measure of freedom. Only then will we have achieved our true goal as a nonprofit organization committed to serving historically marginalized populations.? ? Let’s honor this day by continuing to strive for a more just and equitable society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EquityAndJustice #CelebrateFreedom?

Here's the tea on what happened after #Juneteenth: Although General Order No. 3 was an important milestone, slavery didn't truly end that day. While it promised Black Texans equal rights, it also told them to stay on plantations as "employees." The formerly enslaved were encouraged to sign labor contracts with their former enslavers, leading to sharecropping — a system that often trapped Black folx in debt and poverty. Despite these challenges, freedpeople persisted during the Reconstruction period (1865-1874). They voted, organized, demanded fair wages, educated themselves, worshiped freely, and held political office. However, increasing violence and diminishing opportunities led many to establish their own communities, known as Freedman's Towns or Freedom Colonies. Between 1865 and 1930, over 500 Freedom Colonies were established across East Texas. These colonies provided safe havens where African Americans could reunite with loved ones and escape debt bondage and violence. One notable community was the Tenth Street Historic District in #Dallas, #Texas. The settlement expanded as freedpeople purchased lots and built beautiful bungalow and craftsman-style homes. This area became a hub for social, political, and economic organizing. Excluded from white society, families here created a vibrant world of their own. They built their own economy with Black-owned businesses providing essential services and social spaces. As the nation's largest and most-intact Freedman's Town, Tenth Street offers a rare view into Dallas's past and highlights the resilience of Black American communities everywhere. Our work continues to document, preserve, and amplify Tenth Street's rich history. We — along with our partners Remembering Black Dallas + Katie Cross — recently received Juneteenth coverage highlighting these efforts.

Today is #Juneteenth (Freedom Day) and at @authoracare, we recognize its impact as the start of creating lasting change. The Emancipation Proclamation, which was issued on Jan. 1, 1863, didn’t go into effect until more than 2 ? years later, on June 19, 1865. That’s when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to free all enslaved people. Juneteenth blends the words “June” and “nineteenth” and has been celebrated since 1866. Celebrations can include church-centered community gatherings to highlight African-American freedom and arts. President Joe Biden signed legislation in 2021 establishing Juneteenth as a U.S. federal holiday. Let’s continue to educate ourselves about the deeply embedded, systemic racism so we can be part of the solution. #CEOAction #yourstory #ourexpertcare
