DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\n	\nVoice of the People vs. Violation of Probation \n \nVOP 
 vs. VOP\n  \nThursday June 4, 2009 between the hours of 12:00 p.m. until 
 3:00 p.m., VOP will host Constitution Day on the New Haven (City of Yale 
 University) Green, in the Constitution state of Connecticut.  This event is 
 in commemoration of the upcoming JUNETEENTH holiday\nJuneteenth was a 
 holiday instituted by Black-Americans in Texas, when they learned on June 
 19, 1865-- two and one-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation 
 issued--that they were free. \nThis deprivation of liberty outside of the 
 Constitution then serves as our example now.\nFrom this platform, we seek 
 to bring attention to the U.S. Constitution that protects our rights and 
 freedoms and the Connecticut laws that attempt to deprive its citizens of 
 them.  This year we will focus on the oppressive laws that incarcerate 
 Connecticut citizens at an astounding rate, in particular its 
 Black-American and Hispanic citizens.  Like JUNETEENTH, the United State 
 Constitution guaranteed the right, the Emancipation Proclamation reinforced 
 it but it was only after this right was declared openly and heard by all, 
 that this freedom was actually exercised and protected.  \n\nCOME JOIN 
 US!!\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/06/04/18600392.php
