Happy Juneteenth! As we reflect on Juneteenth, it’s essential to recognize the ongoing fight against systemic racism. We need to amplify Black voices and highlight Black leaders, including Black women who have championed social justice and workers' rights. These include Rosina Corrothers Tucker, a key figure in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who organized women in laundry and domestic trades. Sylvia Woods, a union organizer in Chicago, who united Black and white workers to improve labor conditions. Hattie Canty, a strike leader in Nevada, who fought for fair wages and better labor standards in the hospitality industry. Let's honor Juneteenth by recognizing the strength and perseverance of Black women who have fought and continue to fight for justice. #Juneteenth #BlackWomenLeaders #LaborMovement #SocialJustice #WomenOfColor #CelebrateJuneteenth
