And we are back with another Juneteenth moment.
Juneteenth (June 19) is the day we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States (everyone did not immediately get the Emancipation Proclamation memo). This federal holiday acknowledges the sacrifice and contributions of Black people and Black culture.
How will you, or how do you celebrate Juneteenth? What does it mean to you?
Well, if you are looking for suggestions, I got a few.
Go to the cookout if you get invited (it means they like you).
Shop at Black-owned businesses.
Enjoy some cuisine at a Black restaurant.
Donate to an organization that supports Black communities.
But most importantly, recognize and respect the holiday for what it is.
