June 19th, 1865, was the date when the last people under slavery in Texas were told that slavery had already ended. The enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas represented the final acknowledgement of the end of…
The NAACP Georgia State Conference (GSC) is taking part in a nationwide effort to advance health equity. Our mission is to eliminate the barriers to quality healthcare and preventive treatment for people of color with chronic diseases.
