Today we acknowledge the role slavery has had in US history. Today we honor the voices of communities impacted by discrimination, hate and racism. Today we encourage every person to seek to understand the history of Juneteenth and seek to do better for folks and communities.
Taking time to celebrate, honor and remember folks who died while they served this #MemorialDay. We invite you to leave a comment with names of people you want to remember this Memorial Day.
Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported Judy throughout her lifetime of advocacy. May her memory be for a blessing.
