🧵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— Image
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 Image
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. Image

🧵 On his 95th birthday, I wanted to share some color photos of Daddy. It wasn’t that long ago… #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image
“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image
“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 Image

Why isn’t THIS being covered by all national news outlets?

“215 bodies found in unmarked graves behind Mississippi jail”

@ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @FoxNews @CNN @NewsHour @Reuters @AP @cspan fox26houston.com/video/1391574
“The gravesite is intended for people who have no known family, but according to relatives, they were never contacted by officials.”
