Today we celebrate Juneteenth! June 19, known as Juneteenth, is the day we celebrate the last enslaved people on Unites States soil being freed. Across our branches we've prepared displays of recommended books to learn more about the history and experience of African Americans in the United States then and now. We also have the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment displayed at all branches available to be read in full. Read to educate yourself. Read to understand. Read to stay informed. Read Black authors. #Juneteenth #blacklivesmatter #osceolalibrary #librarydisplay #librariesofinstagram #africanamerican #america #slavery #juneteenth2020 #freedom #endofslavery #americanhistory #blackauthors #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnwyuCJRiu/?igshid=1dhzenf5x6gys
