June 19. 1865.
Having being born in Texas, this day has such a special meaning to me. From age 1 thru age 18 I never missed a June 19th celebration. Texas Slaves were the last slaves in America to learn that they were Free. God Bless there Memory.
Black America know your History.

A myth.
One of the big myth about slavery is that slaves enjoyed being slaves. When I was in school and taking U.S history, the pictures I saw in my history book was of slaves laughing, singing and having fun. But what slave owners did not know this singing, and laughing were codes for how the slaves could escape slavery. Now I read that some states want to erase slavery from school books. What a tragedy that would be. Americans should never forget that slavery built America. A race that forgets its history is bound to repeat it.
