From a log cabin in Kentucky, to a night sky over Grant Park, to the streets today. The Great Emancipator and the first Black President came from state willing to believe America could be better. The work goes on. (🧵)

Chicago. The train north from New Orleans and through Mississippi brought refugees from Jim Crow to the City of Big Shoulders. Freedom isn’t theory here. It’s action. (🧵)

You’ve seen them. Waiting at a red light. Rushing past on the highway. Illinois. Land of Lincoln. It’s easy to forget what that really means. Freedom Day was earned through great sacrifice. It's a legacy of honor, duty, and courage. And today, from Illinois, the fight is rising again. (🧵)

It started with a name: Jim Chase. He escaped from the tobacco plantation where he was born, and took up arms to free his fellows. Jim was at the Crater and he was there when Lee surrendered to Grant. After the war he ran a business, raised a family and was buried beneath the American flag.

We’re the Juneteenth Project. A civic memory effort grounded in history, public ritual, and the unfinished work of democracy. This is what we’re building—and why it matters. 🧵

Iron Brigade, 1863. They marched east to defend the Union—earning a name for grit at Antietam and Gettysburg. Today, Wisconsin still shows its mettle. Some call it defiance. Others call it doing what’s right. On, Wisconsin! #JuneteenthProject #IronBrigade #Wisconsin #MadisonValues
