The ruling in the UNC case was 6-3. In the Harvard case, it was 6-2, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recusing. It could end the ability of colleges to consider race as one of many factors in deciding which of the qualified applicants is to be admitted. ow.ly/tWMN50P0rOt
#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.
