Emancipation Proclamation 1863…..Juneteenth 1865….end of Reconstruction 1877…via the compromise
More History to know that brought us to the place we are at today…
The Compromise of 1877 was an unwritten deal, informally arranged among United States Congressmen, that settled the intensely disputed 1876 presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and ending the Reconstruction Era. Through the Compromise, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops whose support was essential for the survival of Republican state governments in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. Hayes received 185 electoral votes to Tilden’s 184 electoral votes. Despite losing the election, Tilden won the popular vote with 4,301,000 votes to 4,036,000 votes for Hayes.[1]
Under the compromise, Democrats who controlled the House of Representatives allowed the decision of the Electoral Commission to take effect.
The outgoing president, Republican Ulysses S. Grant, removed the soldiers from Florida, and as president, Hayes removed the remaining troops from South Carolina and Louisiana. As soon as the troops left, many white Republicans also left, and the “Redeemer” Democrats, who already dominated other state governments in the South, took control. The exact terms of the agreement are somewhat contested as the documentation is insufficient.[2]
Black Republicans felt betrayed as they lost power, being subject to domestic terrorism to suppress their voting, and by 1905, virtually all black men were effectively disenfranchised by state legislatures in every Southern state.[3]
More History to know that brought us to the place we are at today….
you have to wonder what would have happened if Reconstruction had not been aborted…If JimCrow and Segregtion had not happened….if there had been reign of terror on black people
If the Confederates were treated like the traitors they were…
Juneteenth is a cherished holiday celebrated in African American communities nationwide to commemorate the announcement of the end of slavery in Texas in 1865, two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. https://t.co/03f2wvfM1q

Today, #Juneteenth stands as a reminder of the role everyday people have always played in realizing American democracy. Itโs a moment to celebrate, and an example of what we can accomplish when we work together to bridge the gap between our highest ideals and the world as it is.

If the GOP retakes the House in 2022, they can make Trump speaker whether he's a member of Congress or not. McCarthy confirming Trump wants this should be a powerful rallying cry for Dems to begin registering voters & preparing them to outsmart GOP voter suppression efforts. https://t.co/sYCZjZOUfw
That's a no brainer. Inside HR1 is language that requires all presidential candidates to release 10yrs of tax returns. Eliminate the filibuster and pass more restrictions on who can run and or be appointed to public office.

When I flew in May I was reminded of how docilely Americans responded to that security theater but wonโt wear a mask because MAH RIGHTS and then I got a migraine.
