Today, Legal Aid of Nebraska celebrates Juneteenth. June 19th, 1865 was the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached enslaved individuals in Galveston, Texas. Galveston was the last U.S. city with enslaved people, having taken nearly two and a half years to reach the city after being signed by President Lincoln on January 1st, 1863. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor those who have been resilient in the face of injustice, and recognize the importance of continuing to work towards racial equity. Legal justice is just one of many facets in continuing the work of racial equality. On Juneteenth, and every other day, we will continue to work towards making equal justice happen. Together, we strive for a future where freedom and equality flourish for all.
