I'm sorry my friends for taking so long to post this. Today has been a little off for me
#Juneteenth2023 in honor of what should have been done from day one!
but also NEVER should have happened in the first place!
We ended #Juneteenth2023 in celebration and power, with @StepAfrikaHQ at the @strathmore. My nine year old fell in love with step and felt the power of her community. I was privileged to see the second ever live performance of #TheMovement.
I love Wake Forest playing on #Juneteenth2023 because of what two Deacs have done. Coach Tom Walter & former player Kevin Jordan founded @gitg4change@twitter.com to help young people navigate conversations on social issues & race relations with help of facilitators. https://getinthegame.org

By the way: General Order No. 3 isn’t the great slice of bread some make it out to be. Read between the lines of this order and you will see that newly freed Black people were severely restricted. #Juneteenth2023 #JuneteenthDay #Juneteenth #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

A must read:
"Negros With Guns"
by Robert F. Williams & Martin Luther King Jr. & Truman Nelson
Negroes with Guns is the story of a southern black community's struggle to arm itself in self-defense against the Ku Klux Klan and other racist groups.
Frustrated and angered by violence condoned or abetted by the local authorities against blacks, the small community of Monroe, North Carolina, brought the issue of armed self-defense to the forefront of the civil rights movement.
The single most important intellectual influence on Huey P. Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party, Negroes with Guns is a classic story of a man who risked his life for democracy and freedom.
As prologue, the issues raised by events in Monroe are weighted by Truman Nelson and Martin Luther King Jr. in essays concerning the role of violence in the civil rights movement.

PREMIERE ALERT Pls join me for the release of this special #Juneteenth2023 Ride for Racial Justice Community Bike Ride in Denver, CO at 3 pm Mountain today... in just about 5 minutes!
When someone says "Black Lives Matter" and haters respond with "All lives matter," this typically means they don't count those whose rights & safety are compromised. Since those lives don't matter they're not among "All Lives" in their small heads.
So please take a moment to acknowledge that #BlackLivesMatter
We ALL have a place here, & pigment is a stupid excuse to think otherwise. #Juneteenth2023
Have a happy and proud Juneteenth! #Juneteenth2023
