Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered.

We're making sure all students are ready to go #BackToSchool, including @BostonSchools' chronically absent youth and those off-track to graduate. Thanks to our partners and volunteers for joining us today to canvas with the Re-Engagement Center! @BostonPIC @BCassellius #BPSProud

#Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 that Union soldiers, led by General Gordon Granger, reached Galveston, Texas. They announced to the state that the Civil War was over and that all enslaved persons had been declared free. ow.ly/I3S050uI00o

#Juneteenth lessons need to recognize the challenges those who fight injustice have always faced, but shouldn’t be marked only by the tragedy of enslavement. Empowerment can be found in the celebrations of culture, activism and the humanity of a people. t-t.site/2x39nWD
