Reach out, Read, Research. “This year will mark 155 years since the original Juneteenth. While it has been more than a century since enslaved people were freed, Black Americans are still not given the same freedoms awarded to citizens of other races.” -Bustle “Anytime anyone is enslaved, or in any way deprived of his liberty, of that person is a human being, as far as I’m concerned he is justified to resort to whatever methods necessary to bring about his liberty again.” - Malcolm X “You can’t separate peace from freedom, because no one can be at peace unless he has freedom.” - Malcolm X “Every year we must remind successive generations that this event triggered a series of events that one by one defines the challenges and responsibilities of successive generations. That’s why we need this holiday.” -Al Edwards “My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” - Desmond Tutu “We all require and want respect, man or woman, Black or white. It’s our basic human right.” - Aretha Franklin #juneteenth #blacklivesmatter #blm
