#Repost @onthisdateinhiphop (@get_repost) ・・・ #OnThisDateInHipHop, we celebrate #Juneteenth - the effective end of slavery in the Confederate South. Did you know that even though the #EmancipationProclamation declared all slaves to be free January 1, 1863 -- it wasn't until June 19th that word got to the slaves in Texas that the Civil War was over and that they were free? SHEEEESH!!! This is probably why a Black man [PHILIP EMEAGWALI] fathered the internet, lol. -- The fact is: WE STILL AREN'T FREE... -- Physically, yes (not counting the bros incarcerated)... Financially, only a few. Mentally, NOT SO MUCH. I can't really even explain without getting too deep. Maybe #Nas said it best: -- WHAT DO WE OWN? / NOT ENOUGH LAND, NOT ENOUGH HOMES / NOT ENOUGH BANKS, TO GIVE MY BROTHER A LOAN / WHAT DO WE OWN? THE SKIN ON OUT BACKS, WE RUN AND WE ASK FOR REPARATIONS, THEN THEY HIT US WITH TAX / AND INSURANCE IF WE LIVE TO BE OLD, WHAT ABOUT NOW / SO STOP BEING CONTROLLED, WE #BlackZombies -- @Nas

@tonyposnanski I AGREE With You 10000%.. Not Only Did #PresidentObama POORLY Handle #HurricaneKatrina, The #CivilWar & The #GreatDepression, I PERSONALLY Think That He #DroppedTheBall Much WORSE Handling The #EmancipationProclamation, & The #BostonTeaParty.. It's Also Stated That #PaulRevere Was VEXED & Could Have Alerted Everyone That #TheBritishWereComing Much FASTER & SOONER Had #PresidentBarackObama Saddled #PaulRevere's #Horse Quicker!

sparc! at Juneteenth

Juneteenth celebrations always make us glow and last week’s Juneteenth was no different. 

As we are each year sparc! the ArtMobile was at the National Center of Afro-American Artists (NCAAA) offering an openair art studio. People from all walks of life came together to create Juneteenth-themed journals with stamps, stickers, and decorative tapes.

Inside the museum, attendees also enjoyed making Juneteenth buttons! We loved seeing everyone's unique creations that spoke to themes of freedom and Black liberation. 

A big thank you to all the speakers, performers, vendors, the Boston Juneteenth Committee, and the National Center of Afro-American Artists (NCAAA) for making this day of reflection and celebration possible.
