Every year for 140 years we have continued to celebrate that fateful Juneteenth day in Galveston, Texas when the 2 year old news arrived that the emancipation proclamation had been signed freeing all slaves. Black slavery was abolished on this Juneteenth day in Texas and an emancipation proclamation summary was delivered throughout Texas either officially or unofficially. But have we remembered to celebrate everything?
This Juneteenth celebration a final blow to American slavery has moved beyond the borders of Galveston, beyond the borders of the great State of Texas Cheap Aleksander Barkov Shirt , beyond the borders of the U.S. to encircle several countries and faiths and peoples. We need to ask ourselves - have we remembered to celebrate everything?
Juneteenth in Galveston Texas is sometimes celebrated for a day or a week and even a whole month. Being freed from slavery can have that kind of memorable effect to where you want generation after generation to almost feel the embrace of emancipation. To remember Juneteenth not only as a time to barbeque and drink - but as a historic marker of freedom for a downtrodden people. Juneteenth celebrations and Texas emancipation should be synonymous in our minds - to be taught to our children as history so that it will never be repeated. Remember to celebrate everything.
Texas emancipation law is that - an actual law on a physical piece of paper, that needs to be read and remembered. Emancipation in Texas was not taken lightly 140 years ago, we must also remember and try to imagine what it was like to hear the emancipation proclamation summary. Imagine what it was like standing there with half your strength already gone from working all morning (read 4 a.m. until) Cheap Jared McCann Jersey , what it was like to have whip marks on or backs that itched or ached even if they had already healed from years ago.
Imagine standing there barefoot and barely clothed in rags to hear - you are FREE. In your Juneteenth celebrations, remember to celebrate everything - you are FREE.

The plight of african american people has a solution - FREEDOM. Remember to celebrate everything.

Like thousands Cheap Jamie McGinn Jersey , I ran out opening weekend and grabbed up a Sprint HTC EVO. The EVO is without a doubt the coolest smartphone I have ever owned. Yet the biggest complaint facing the EVO is battery life. Well the good news is that I have discovered several tricks and tips to extend the battery life over 50% and I am here to share them with you.
The number one complaint I always read about elite gadget phones or smartphones is their battery life. The battery issue isn not only relegated to the HTC EVO. I avoided the iPhone and iPods for a few years because of their issues when it came to battery life. Fortunately for you EVO owners, it doesn't always have to be that way.
Now if you left your HTC EVO set up the way it is when you open up the box, you will be disappointed with the phone's battery life. If you left your phone on with the 4G network enabled Cheap Radim Vrbata Jersey , the battery life of your EVO would not make it through the day. I learned that the hard way. So that said, here are a few simple steps you can take to extend your EVO's battery life over 50%.
Tip #1 - Download the Advanced Task Killer app from the app store. If I was going to rank the must-have apps for the EVO, this would be number one. Go to the market icon on your phone Cheap James Reimer Jersey , type in "Advanced Task Killer" and download it. It is free. Once you have downloaded it, put it on your home screen. Click it and you will see a list of every app and task that is running on your EVO. The first time I did it, I was stunned and you will be too. Some of these apps on your EVO will turn on automatically with no rhyme or reason. Unless you see the apps running Cheap Nick Bjugstad Jersey , you would have no idea. These apps are bleeding the battery life of your phone dry! Simply check every app you want to kill and then tap "Kill selected apps." I check them all. I will turn them on if and when I need them. This baby will save you big time on your battery life and it is free.
Tip #2 - Download the Battery Status Pro app from the app store. If I was going to rank the must-have EVO apps, this would be number two. This is a phenomenal app and it is 100% free. Once again, go to the market place icon on your phone Cheap Connor Brickley Jersey , type in "Battery Status Pro" and download it. There is a paid and free version. You only need the free version. Put this on your home screen once you download it. Tap it and you will see a complete breakdown of the battery life left on your phone. You get down to the second time left on your battery in various modes from Standby Time, Talktime, Internet Use (with or without Wi-Fi) Cheap Jonathan Huberdeau Jersey , etc. This app will let you know exactly how much time you have for whatever you want to do. This is a great way to budget your battery life so you do not waste it on something you do not need.
Tip #3 - Change the brightness of your home screen. Out of the box, your HTC EVO is bright as a summer day's sun. It looks great but you really do not need all of that brightness, unless you are in a dark place. Tap your Menu button on the bottom of the EVO and go to Settings - Sounds & Display - Brightness. There you can slide your bar all the way to the left which will darken your phone and save you a lot of battery life. You'd be surprised at the difference in your EVO's battery life once you make this simple adjustment.
