On this day 151 years ago, the final bastion of (old school) slavery was abolished in Gavelston Texas by the Union Army. Granted it wouldn't be until December that the 13th amendment finally killing (old school) slavery was passed. Celebrate Juneteenth and remember the sacrifices of our ancestors.

The next time you think of giving up or doing dumb, self-destructive shyt, remember what was done to give you even the right to read this post
