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.

- rice cultivation
- metallurgy
- gunpowder
- paper

If all ADs had that hustling mentality themselves would we have seen a greater ratio of better art direction in our entertainment? That was a rhetorical question. Sometimes I think of all the talent that gets mishandled, mismanaged and neglected and it makes something in me burn.
@EZE3D the advice in question being to throw your life away for non-consistent results at best and overly vague at worst when the whole structure is imploding at the moment. Its just individualistic bootstrap mentality and if you dont unquestioningly take it, you dont "love" it enough.
