A quotation from Martin Luther King
If our nation had done nothing more in its whole history than to create just two documents, its contribution to civilization would be imperishable. The first of these documents is the Declaration of Independence and the other is that which we are here to honor tonight, the Emancipation Proclamation. All tyrants, past, present and future, are powerless to bury the truths in these declarations, no matter how extensive their legions, how vast their power and how malignant their evil.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) American clergyman, civil rights leader, social activist, preacher
Speech (1962-09-12), Emancipation Proclamation Centennial Address, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/king-martin-luther/2…

To Freedom!
Happy Juneteenth, everyone! If you’re interested in the history behind the holiday celebrating the effective end of legalized slavery in the United States, I’ve written about it before.
This year, I’m marking the day with a biracial poem.
Half of me is glad
to be free. Half is glad I’m
not holding the chain.
Here’s to freedom, for us all.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.
Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.
