🎉❤️💛💚 Happy Juneteenth from the City of Lakin 💚💛❤️🎉 Today, we commemorate June 19, 1865—the day the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress, and a time to reflect on our shared history and commitment to a more just future. As a community, we honor this important day and stand together in unity, respect, and hope. #Juneteenth #CityOfLakin #FreedomDay #UnityInCommunity #BlackHistoryMatters
