Black soldiers fought for their own freedom in the Civil War and played a pivotal role in freeing the enslaved people of Texas on Juneteenth. Learn more by reading this National Geographic article.

Happy Juneteenth!
This year’s theme, “Voices of Preservation: Culture, Land & Legacy,” will explore critical conversations surrounding Gullah traditions, language preservation, cultural tourism, and heirs’ property conservation. Attendees will hear from inspiring speakers, including keynote speaker Ron Daise.
We are big fans of Tastee Treats a Gullah Geechee specialty foods company owned by Michael Allen and his wife Latanya Allen, who learned to cook from her mother and to bake from her grandmother. The peach cobbler syrup is like eating my mother’s version in liquid form! blacknews.com/news/latanya...
