@CaileanGallimore Historians have long argued that for many Black Americans, the struggle for freedom didn’t end with Juneteenth or the ratification of the 13th Amendment. Emancipation was a beginning, not an endpoint, and the meaning of freedom remains contested long after slavery’s formal abolition.

@CaileanGallimore Sure enough , in the years after emancipation, Southern states exploited that loophole by establishing Black Codes, convict leasing, and chain gangs, systems that disproportionately targeted Black Americans and supplied labor to private employers and state governments.

@CaileanGallimore Thank you. You’re pointing to something many people don’t realize and you’re right to point it out. The 13th Amendment did indeed abolish slavery, but it also contained an exception allowing involuntary labor as punishment for a crime after conviction.

@Jon_Kramer Indeed. Thanks for the reminder. Humanity has a long way to go before we are all truly free.
