Celebrating one of the greatest
events that occurred in America's history...
The End of Slavery as it was known at that time!
June 19, 1865 | Juneteenth
155 Years and counting
The Chains Of Slavery Still Exist In Mass Incarceration
Slavery and human trafficking is alive and prevalent in The United States Of America Incorporated. Modernized slavery and human trafficking is administered on a daily bases where it is the least expected.
Modernized slavery is being administered through the legislative and the Judicial arms of government and carried out by the courts. America has thousands of statutes, codes and ordinances that can have a person incarcerated/enslaved. The struggle for freedom and liberty from tyranny is in full effect. Juneteenth stands for freedom and liberty! We invite you to stand together in abolishing modernized slavery against the people of America.
