"Juneteenth may mark just one moment in the struggle for emancipation, but the holiday gives us an occasion to reflect on the profound contributions of enslaved black Americans to the cause of human freedom. It gives us another way to recognize the central place of slavery and its demise in our national story. And it gives us an opportunity to remember that American democracy has more authors than the shrewd lawyers and erudite farmer-philosophers of the Revolution, that our experiment in liberty owes as much to the men and women who toiled in bondage as it does to anyone else in this nation’s history." –Jamelle Bouie #goodnewdays #Juneteenth #NettieandWilliam #hondo #sanantonio #norteno #1865 #freedom #human # https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnsh16BZHQ/?igshid=oes9885s7q0
