In Honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, let's all remember:

1. What Juneteenth actually celebrates.
2. Why we even have the 14th Amendment in the first place.
3. The Black Wall Street Massacre.
4. The Colfax Massacre.
5. The Wilmington Massacre.

Vocab of the day is RACISM.

Time for more #BlackHistoryMonth no one talks about. The 13th Amendment was adopted in 1865. Delaware ratified in 1901. Kentucky in 1976.

Mississippi in 1995. Due to definitely accidental clerical errors, MS didn't certify their decision until 2013.

This is not ancient history, it was yesterday.
