Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, a holiday observing the end of slavery in the United States.
In many ways, this holiday commemorates not how far we’ve come over the last 155 years, but how much more work we have to do to achieve true freedom and equality.
In many ways, this holiday commemorates not how far we’ve come over the last 155 years, but how much more work we have to do to achieve true freedom and equality.
Today there’s a multigenerational, multiethnic, and worldwide movement crying out for reform, crying out to be heard, and demanding that our society dismantle systemic racism and address inequality.
This unity gives me hope that—while the fight for equality continues—we are united in winning that fight. We are making progress.
Like the thousands of peaceful protestors, we can use our voices to speak truth to power and call out leaders that sow division and racial hate.
