π July 8th is officially Massachusetts Emancipation Day, also known as Quock Walker Day! πβ¨
After Saturday’s Hike for Freedom and the Community Celebration with music and African Dance, some supporters of the bill gathered to mark this historic day. We are grateful to bill sponsors Rep. Michelle Ciccolo, Sen. Cindy Friedman, and Sen. Mike Barrett for their unwavering support. Although they couldn’t make today’s calendar photo as they are hard at work at the State House, their presence at the community event was deeply appreciated.
A special thanks to Sean Osborne, who led the charge with his advocacy for Massachusetts Emancipation Day. Your dedication has made this important day a reality.
Join us in commemorating this significant day, celebrating freedom, and honoring the legacy of Quock Walker. πβπΏπ #Lex250 #QuockWalkerDay #MassachusettsEmancipationDay #Freedom #Equality #CommunitySupport
