    Today is Juneteenth, a day that recognizes the June 19, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery. Just like the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot story is now being taught in #Oklahoma schools, we should teach the next generation about #Juneteenth also.https://twitter.com/nmaahc/status/1009061990810218496 …

    #OTD in 1865, enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom by Union troops in Galveston Bay, TX. Known as #Juneteenth, this day is widely celebrated as the end of chattel slavery in the U.S. Learn more: http://s.si.edu/2sPGYTk  #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory pic.twitter.com/YY2yiG8Lzs

        Maybe save your thanks for when he actually does something that helps those kids. His refusal to call on trump to end his policy of separating families is the lazy and unchristian.

        Yes learning our history is important to not repeat the mistakes of the past. On that note, what action will you take to prevent history from repeating, further atrocities from happening and to reunite the children taken from their parents at the border? #FamilesBelongTogether

        It is my ardent hope that one day, very soon, (like today, perhaps?) we can teach our children about the day the Trump Administration and the Republican party ended the criminal practice of kidnapping innocent children and locking them in cages. #DoYourJob #KidsInCages #GOPfault

        Someday the history books will teach about this dark time in American history. They'll talk about the evil, traitorous Trump, and the Republicans who never stood up to him. They'll talk about the blatant racism and the children torn from their mother's arms.

        Too bad Tulsa police and sheriff still kill black people w zero repercussions. Too bad the city council of Tulsa denies a grocery store north side. But go ahead Lankford continue building your fantasies that others swallow.

        Completely agree. We need to change the way we describe what happened in Tulsa, though. It wasn’t a race riot.
