🧵Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth, a day that acknowledges the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States. This day, also known as #FreedomDay, represents a pivotal moment in our nation's history—
a step towards justice, equality, and the recognition of our shared humanity.
As we celebrate this historic day, let us remember the words of my father:
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” #MartinLutherKingJr
Juneteenth is not only a day to reflect on the past but also a time to renew our commitment to fighting for justice and equality. Let us use this day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take actions that contribute to a more just and inclusive society.

“Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK
