Today is Juneteenth, a Federal holiday marking the end to slavery in the United States.
That is all well and good, but did you know Alaskan natives were openly enslaved until 1966? That currently there are roughly 60,000 slaves held in the United States, mostly in nail salons, restaurants, and the garment industry? And there are an uncountable number of slaves held as sex slaves.
Juneteenth isn't a day to claim victory, but a day to remember we still have work to do.
