This is an email from Monique Worrell, the AG from fl who desantis fired?. While the fl supreme court, a despot led bench, ousted her 6-1 with one abstention, I believe this is still in the courts as what he did was illegal. She is running for re-election, and what a conundrum he caused. She surely will win again.. In her last bid she won by an overwhelming vote.

Sharing her email with you as a little education is good.. I had no idea what Juneteenth was, sad to say.

Hey everyone –

Today is Juneteenth, a profound day in our nation’s history that commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. As we gather to celebrate Black culture, we must also take the time to reflect and educate on why this day stands as a powerful reminder of our enduring struggle for freedom and equality.

Juneteenth is a day to honor the resilience and contributions of those who came before us, who fought relentlessly for justice, and who, despite overwhelming adversity, paved the way for the freedoms we cherish today. It is also a day to recognize the work that still lies ahead as we strive to ensure equality and justice for all.

While Lincoln freed the slaves via the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, final word on this Proclamation was never received until June 19, 1865, with Texas being the last notified. Lore states the messenger distributing this information was murdered so cotton growers could continue receiving free labor on their plantations.

Keep up the fight, Monique, and thanks for the email.

Happy Juneteenth to all who are and were enslaved.
