🧺 ITS JUNETEENTH from Little Brown Lady Laundry!
Because freedom always deserves a fresh fold, I'm sudsing up with pride today ❤️💙🤍
A little history...on Jan 1, 1863, Ole Abe with his maybe possibly melungeon self gave us the Emancipation Proclamation. What's that you ask? It gave enslave folx their "freedom". So back off massa!
But SOME places in SOME states (cough cough I'm looking at Texas and a few others) decided not to actually TELL these enslaved folx so it was over two years later, on June 19, 1865, YES TWO YEARS after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally told they were free (now conspiracy theory there were other areas later but I digress...). That moment on June 19th, or Juneteenth, marked a powerful turning point in American history. It’s not just Black history...it’s everyone’s history, it's AMERICA'S history. 🇺🇸🕊️
So today, while I'm spinning out those stubborn bbq stains and fluffing towels with love, I'm also reflecting on the concepts of freedom, resilience, and joy. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Because here at Little Brown Lady Laundry, I don’t just care about clean clothes, I care about clean slates, bold futures, and celebrating every step we’ve taken and will take to build our communities.
So throw in your laundry order and come celebrate with us! I’ll handle the folding while you soak up the history. ☀️👕🧼
