## Resource

Juneteenth isn’t just about Texas—it’s deeply tied to Minnesota’s hidden history, starting at Fort Snelling, where the first Black community in the state was born, even if they weren’t legally free. This year’s historic tour revealed how enslaved people, Civil War veterans, and their families shaped St. Paul and Minneapolis, turning a military outpost into a foundation for Black resilience. With Juneteenth marking the delayed freedom of Texas slaves and the 25th Infantry’s legacy, this isn’t just a holiday—it’s a living story of resistance, community, and the enduring power of remembering.
