Melania Trump celebrated Juneteenth Friday with a special video reminding people that “any differences we have should be celebrated and learned from.

“Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S,” the first lady captioned her post on Instagram, along with a video of her reading a book by author Angela Johnson. “In honor of today, I would like to share the story ‘All Different Now’ by Angela Johnson, which sheds a light on the first Juneteenth through the eyes of a young girl.” (RELATED: Trump Orders DOJ, FBI To Investigate George Floyd’s Death In Police Custody)

In the clip, FLOTUS said that “as our country works through the racial issues that we still face today, it is important to remember we are one global community.” (RELATED: Ivanka Turns Heads In Yellow And Black Floral Dress During Munich Trip)

“Let’s all agree that any differences we have should be celebrated and learned from,” she added. “Today I will be thinking of my trip to Ghana in West Africa where I was so moved to take a tour of the House of Slaves and step through the Door of No Return, a memorial to the Atlantic slave trade.”

The first lady continued, while noting that her hope for everyone today is “that by understanding and reflecting upon even the worst part of our country’s past, we can commit to lifting each other up and celebrating the freedom we all deserve.”

On Thursday, FLOTUS and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson took a trip to the National Archives to see the Emancipation Proclamation and the Charters of Freedom.

“Today, @SecretaryCarson [and] I visited the @USNatArchives to view the Emancipation Proclamation [and] Charters of Freedom,” the first lady captioned her post about the visit. “The significance behind these documents is an important reminder that our nation is built on the principles of freedom, liberty [and] equality for all. #Juneteenth.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
