Did you know Texas was the last stronghold of slavery because it seceded from Mexico after Mexico outlawed slavery under President Vicente Guerrero, a former Afro-Mexican slave? The Battle of the Alamo? It was rooted in a fight for slavery, not just independence. American settlers were even asking for Mexican citizenship — because they wanted land, labor, and slavery to continue. This is why financial literacy matters. This is why economic justice is a civil rights issue. We must plant in good soil — but that starts with truth. Celebrate your freedom — and honor it by understanding the full story. – John Hope Bryant Happy Juneteenth ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 This isn’t just Black history — it’s American history.
