Today we celebrate #Juneteenth. It marks the day that Galveston, Texas announced the abolition of slavery in 1865 despite the legal end to slavery two years prior.pic.twitter.com/A7x5CyeKTO

Let us not forget, the 13th Amendment restricted slavery to those who have not committed a crime, thus transforming slavery into the Convict Leasing system and prison labor. Today, the prison industrial complex is still holding onto the last vestiges of slavery.pic.twitter.com/sIPgPMDTEr

Through
#Juneteenth, we honor the slaves upon whose backs this country was built, but we also recognize that the legacy of slavery is still embedded in many of our institutions. And so, we must do the work to push this nation forward.pic.twitter.com/a2xckfdQiDDeze collectie tonen

There is systemic racism, prejudice of the minority, in the US judiciary that goes back over hundred years. Redefining liberty to mean more than physical restraint. Liberty interest to do this or that that is a crime. Habeas corpus is demeaned. Justify the laws depriving liberty.
