Dating back to 1865, the holiday commemorates the day when 250,000 slaves in the state of Texas, which became the last bastion for slavery during the final days of the Civil War, were declared free by the U.S. Army.

As soon as the following year, local festivities were organized in African American communities to celebrate and remember the significance of that day, June 19. The celebrations continued year after year.

In the 20th century, as African Americans from Texas and neighboring states spread throughout the country, so too did Juneteenth celebrations. In 1980, Texas became the first to make it a state holiday. Shortly thereafter, other states followed suit, along with organizations and businesses across the nation hosting events and educational opportunities dedicated to commemorating the significance of this day.

How about "Colorado College Gives Day" it doesn't exist yet but it should. All of our students need community support. Education is an expensive undertaking that we all will benefit from. Even with family support, our community family is still needed.
If educating our up-and-coming is a value you share send a $10, a $20 as a matching donation for the scholarship she recently received.
Wishing you a Happy Kwanzaa, Ujamaa ( Cooperative Economics), and a wonderful 2023!

Family and Community many of you already know me and my story but for those who do no… Aminah Fard needs your support for Support Aminah's Journey at Spelman

The Ujamaa Holiday Market Team is excited to be back in December 2022, post-COVID for optimal cultural connection and celebration.

Thank you for your support over the past 17 plus years. Cooperative Economics is not a trend it is the fourth principle of Kwanzaa, and we hope a practiced life principle for Black People.
Happy Kwanzaa
