#FBF A look at #DeltaSigmaTheta Sussex County Alumnae Chapter #Juneteenth Arts Festival 2014 in Milton, Delaware!🔺🐘✊🏾 #DSTFREEDOM #dst1913 #shop1913
From @dstinc1913:
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. joins in the celebration of #Juneteenth to commemorate June 19, 1865, a date two and a half years after emancipation when our enslaved ancestors in Texas, the most remote “slave-holding” state, were finally informed they were free. As is our way, these African Americans made the best of the situation by turning a confirmation of this nation’s unfair treatment into a celebration of our God-given right to “the pursuit of happiness.” Emancipation Day has been celebrated in Texas ever since.
Send us your throwback #DST pics and we'll highlight you!!! 📸: @stevengb
