Juneteenth should remind us that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. The US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers who lost their “property” but not to the formerly enslaved who lost their lives, was legal. Indeed, prison slavery is still legal today.
Do not let legality & power be your measure of morality & justice.
Teaching about slavery in schools isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.
Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.
