Juneteenth commemorates the event on June 19, 1865 when Union Army officers notified enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas that they had been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, which had taken effect Jan. 1, 1863. (2/)pic.twitter.com/BlrlK08VKm

Juneteenth is a reminder of how the control over information can perpetuate the injustices of the past. For those who were enslaved in the most remote corners of the Confederacy, Lincoln’s proclamation couldn't change their captivity— until they were notified in 1865. (3/)pic.twitter.com/eoJEaWFoDc

Under the guise of banning critical race theory, extremist politicians have manufactured a modern-day witch-hunt as a means to undermine public education, freedom of speech, and an accurate understanding of our own history. (4/)pic.twitter.com/Xsuvar1n4l

The right-wing effort to suppress the teaching of racial injustice has metastasized: in over 24 states, conservatives are engaged in a full frontal assault against the racial reckoning that a multi-generational, multi-racial group of Americans demanded last summer. (5/)pic.twitter.com/hdOu76SKUZ

It’s time to fight back. Since the fall, AAPF has been leading the
#TruthBeTold Campaign alongside the NAACP LDF and other partners to push back against federal and state-level repression. (7/)pic.twitter.com/OLJGgG03y1

We applaud the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers for condemning these efforts to suppress accurate history in schools and to deny our children the opportunity to learn from events that should never be forgotten. (8/)

Across the country, educators are speaking out against these laws that gag their ability to teach a truthful version of history to the next generation and pass down values of honesty, integrity, and justice.

Why have these attacks emerged now? We must not underestimate that this backlash arrives because we are in a position of ascendancy — a transformative momentum that we need to sustain and advance against those who yearn for a racially oppressive past. (10/)pic.twitter.com/pyLKkXZcC9

On days of celebration like Juneteenth, we must not let these attempts to silence our history obscure that we have overcome before and we will do so again. To support the campaign and for more resources, visit http://www.aapf.org/truthbetold (11)pic.twitter.com/ZErUSDG2z3
