View Comments
Ventura County organizations are preparing art walks and other festivities next weekend to celebrate Juneteenth, the annual June 19 commemoration of
the end of slavery in the United States. A lot of people don’t realize Black people were not emancipated on the Fourth of July, said La Shaun Aaron, co-founder of 805 Resistance which is co-hosting a Juneteenth block party Saturday in Thousand Oaks. That’s not our day of freedom.
The event celebrates June 19, 1865, the day Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform enslaved African-Americans of their freedom two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln s Emancipation Proclamation took effect.

Almost 80% of South Africans speak one of the SEB family languages as their first language. Their origins can be traced to farmers of West-Central Africa whose descendants over the past two millennia spread south of the equator and finally into Southern Africa.
Since then, varying degrees of sedentism [the practice of living in one place for a long time], population movements and interaction with Khoe and San communities, as well as people speaking other SEB languages, ultimately generated what are today distinct Southern African languages such as isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho.
Despite these linguistic differences, these groups are treated mostly as a single group in genetic studies.
