#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.

#HappyPrideMonth to LGBTQI+ persons around the world.  We honor the Black trans women who pioneered the movement for LGBTQI+ equality in the US; they understood all of our fates are tied and none of us are free until we all. This month and every month intersectionality matters 🏳️‍🌈
