"And I’ll never lose my faith that you and I can create an anti-racist America where racial disparities are nonexistent. Where Americans are no longer manipulated by racist ideas. Where Black lives matter." - @DrIbram accepting the 2016 #NBAwards for Nonfiction https://t.co/GSCYDTGcxB

“It’s that clarity of language about the VALUE of black life in America that distinguishes #Juneteenth as emancipation day. But our ability to live up to that ideal as a nation is best measured in, the days, weeks, and years that followed.” My latest: https://t.co/bxbvBtjrIe

#Juneteenth recognizes & celebrates Black people’s freedom and the end of slavery in the US! 19 Jun 1865 Union Army General issued orders to free enslaved people in the retaken confederate territory of Texas 2 years after Lincoln signed the #EmancipationProclamation 1 Jan 1863.

When I think of emancipation, I think of all of the people who fought for freedom but who never got a chance to experience it. The end of slavery did not happen overnight, it came from intergenerational work by those who fought for a better world they knew they might never see.

It's time to end the silence about our history of racial injustice in America. #Juneteenth https://t.co/AlNI2ZdCx6

1. This is Opal Lee, the force behind the movement to make #Juneteenth a national holiday. Also known as Freedom Day, it is the day that commemorates when slavery officially ended in the USA. At 93, Mrs. Lee keeps banging the drum for the recognition of this day. https://t.co/qrs9im0YWl

Thinking today about my great-grandfather & his family who were enslaved here in Montgomery County, Maryland (just about 25 miles from where I live). Seeking to honor their memory through working to dismantle systemic racism & advance justice. #Juneteenth https://t.co/2Q6CSfg2A9

“Only those feigning blindness fail to see the body of work we are, and the work of body we have done. Everything is what it is because of us. It is a misunderstanding to believe that free fell upon us like a blessing.“ - Patricia Smith #Juneteenth https://t.co/hMDytKAWbD
