Let’s never forget what freedom means. We unfortunately still live in a racist and discriminatory world 🌎.
Will you continue to forget history or learn from it and make a positive change?
Remember nothing changes when we stay silent, if we don’t vote or voice our opinions.
We still have a long ways to go. Right when we thought 💭 we would move forward, somehow we regress to going to negative progress and get worse.
You see, it takes active participation in dialogue, compromise, tolerance, perseverance and even more needed bravery to actually do good things collectively. It is not possible to be extreme one way or the other. We need a balanced approach in every aspect of our lives. Equity and fair opportunity to thrive is the compassionate way of doing business. We all win if we work together to begin with.
“Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday. Juneteenth 2025 will occur on Thursday, June 19.”
