Juneteenth: Celebrating Freedom, Equality, and the African American Spirit

by Matthew Russell - Posted 4 months ago




Juneteenth: a day that holds immense significance for the United States, marking the end of slavery in the country, a day that signifies freedom, equality, and the enduring legacy of the African American community.


As we commemorate this pivotal moment in history, CryptoComics Marketplace proudly joins in the celebration of Juneteenth, honoring the resilience, the spirit, and the unwavering determination of African Americans amidst adversity.

Juneteenth: A Glimpse into the Past



The year was 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring the freedom of enslaved people in Confederate-held territories. However, this proclamation did not reach many enslaved individuals until Juneteenth, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed the remaining enslaved people of their liberation.


This marked a turning point in American history, a day that finally brought forth the promise of freedom and equality for African Americans.

A Legacy of Resilience

Despite the shackles of slavery being broken, the African American community continued to face immense challenges throughout history. Segregation, discrimination, and countless obstacles stood in the way of their pursuit of true liberation.


But through it all, the African American spirit remained unbroken. Their resilience, their determination, and their unwavering belief in the promise of a better future fueled their fight for equality.


A Celebration of Today and Tomorrow



Today, we celebrate Juneteenth not just as a day of remembrance but also as a day of reflection and a call to action. It is a day to honor the past, acknowledge the present, and pave the way for a more just and equitable future.

These comics offer a glimpse into the struggles, triumphs, and enduring spirit of the African American community.


  • Black History from Tidalwave is pretty self-explanatory.
  • Katango is a reimagination of African folklore. Think African version of the Norse Gods from Marvel.
