Memorial Day carries a deep history rooted in freedom, sacrifice, and remembrance. 🇺🇸

Many people don’t realize that one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations was led by formerly enslaved Black Americans in Charleston, South Carolina after the Civil War. What began as an act of honoring fallen Union soldiers became a powerful symbol of dignity, community, and freedom.

Today, we honor the lives, sacrifices, and stories that shaped this nation. 🕊️
