June 19, 1865 the word finally reached Galveston that all slaves were free. President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation about three years earlier. 900 days to be exact. I will leave this link to tell you why. It took until June 17, 2021 for President Biden to sign it into federal law, making it our 11th national holiday. It was far from overdue.

Slavery was once legal, but it is no longer. Today is a reminder that legality does not mean morality. We still need to get into good trouble for all the people who cannot.
