Revitalized National Juneteenth Museum to highlight the holiday: "It's a story about freedom"

For the past two decades, the museum has told the story of slavery and emancipation, and celebrated the accomplishments of African Americans throughout Texas - but now, it's about to make room for a bigger project.

@ 2:07 is a major point that gets lost, time and time again. It's the victory of the abolitionists in all of this that gets overlooked and under valued, thus forgotten as people bicker about other sides of the issue, which is tragic in itself...

[@louisestyles879]

Nice! Nice work Guys! I'll have to get there.

They owe us it shouldn’t b a problem to get this built this will b good for everyone

What about museums for all the other minorities in the US

[@nickybrown5019]

Better get on it then since you’re so passionate about minority representation.

Yes the AAPI community would love you to make a donation to the building of their museum on the national mall..pretty sure you won't

[@MacroX1231]

You should thank your local Republican because had it not been for us they'd still be owned by Democrats.

[@makeitmakesense2616]

Yet today's Republicans want to take away the rights of the American Descendant of Slaves community. Too bad that Today's Republicans have fallen so far from grace

[@freedman-asf4161]

Dude the Republicans drop the ball and listen there were over a thousand enslaved revolts so stop the cap. I give homage to those pure of hearts but if my enslaved ancestors didn’t join the confederates would have won.

[@thekentuckyrifleman]

@@makeitmakesense2616 actually no. Last year when Democrats were crying "Jim Crow 2.0" Republicans passed law which reinforced African Americans right to vote. Record turnout for Black voters in Georgia. Just one example

[@jacksonheathen2092]

More ridiculous black power propaganda.

Says one, ignorant of all power...
