Happy Juneteenth! On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX to notify the slaves there that they were free. The slaves hadn’t been impacted by the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 which had been in effect more than two years prior.

This dialogue has its own entity on Twitter. As we know it, Black Twitter today takes the form of the “Black voice” in response to relevant social topics.
We’ve long said that Gen Z is dedicated to inclusion. They’ve taken to protesting racial injustice since 2016, when students staged walkouts and sit-ins in support of people who were told to “go back where they came from” in a nation of immigrants.
