Good morning… Tyrell Plair, representing PlaTy MultiMedia and Publishing:
Happy Juneteenth… I hope this message finds you all in good spirits, and ready to celebrate your ancestors.
Juneteenth, June 19, 1865, marks the day the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally received the news of their freedom – two years (not two days like i said in my speech 🎤 ), after the Emancipation Proclamation. This serves as a powerful reminder that information, even vital information, can be withheld if we don’t actively seek it out.
Even today, we sometimes deny ourselves the knowledge we need to grow and share. Let’s not just celebrate this one day; let’s celebrate all the days of our ancestors by becoming truly literate and paying attention to what’s going on around us. Search for the information, retain it, and share it with others.
A powerful mind can achieve anything. Let’s honor our history by actively engaging with it.
Enjoy this day, have fun, and celebrate your ancestors!
Shout out to my sister for this shirt: “They Not Like Us.” And they definitely don’t like me! So, salute and enjoy your day. 🫡🤝🏾💪🏾💯
