The ironic part about every compliment we’ve gotten about the World Cup is what the guests are falling in love with is Diversity. It’s the thing that actually makes this place worth staying in and why we can’t allow it to be destroyed.
This the most black folks I seen on the mens Team USA world cup team.
And we’re kicking ass.
Almost like we should invest more in other communities to flourish 👀
Being THIS triggered by a holiday is comical as fuck every year 😂😂😂
Something that LITERALLY impacts nothing in their lives. Calling it fake or made up or too exclusive…
But have a BALL on Cinco de Mayo, St Patrick’s Day, ARBOR DAY….
But for “some reason”… today..nvm😂
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
