As an African immigrant, I want to use this special day of Juneteenth to say a heartfelt "thank you" to my African American brothers and sisters, who paved the way for me in the United States of America.
I believe that your sacrifices & triumphs have helped open the door to immigrants of all stripes.Thank you!

Before you were Americans, you were Africans. We are of the same blood. Neither time nor history, nor experiences can change that. We're family, and family lives forever!
Your strength, courage, and indefatigable tenacity has earned you an indelible place in the annals of history as a tough, indestructible, and heroic people.

And so, today, especially, I offer you a hearty oblation of gratitude and support. I love you, family.
And as we honor our long-gone forebears and their hard-earned freedom that we continue to enjoy today, may we endeavor to bequeath something just as praiseworthy to the generations to come.
May we collaborate to create a better future for ourselves, a future filled with the glorious promise that is worthy of the sacrifices made by our progenitors.

Happy Juneteenth!❤❤❤
