June 19, 1865 is a memorable day in African[American] Heritage. Having enslaved millions of people during the Maafa(great calamity, terrorism, tragedy, etc. -  from  the African Kiswahili Language) the slaves of Texas were notified on this date which was two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, that they were now free. This commemoration is recognized in over 42 states. Here at Gifts From Deez Hands we would like you to participate in this great day on Saturday, June 7, from 11-6pm
