#Juneteenth

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

Juneteenth is the celebration of freedom and citizenship. The Civil War was fought over slavery, and Juneteenth marks the final enforcement of emancipation in America. It is the story of a people who were denied the promises of this nation and then fought to claim them.

Juneteenth is not a celebration of global Pan-Africanism. It is a celebration of slaves becoming free AMERICANS. Our history is rooted in the unique struggle, sacrifice, and freedom struggle of those who endured slavery on American soil and built this country.

Juneteenth honors the journey from bondage to becoming AMERICAN. This is why Pan African colors are so disrespectful. Africa didn’t save us. They sold us. Our march to freedom belongs only to slaves, their descendants & allies in the fight. Nobody else.

He worshipped at the thrones of Sly, Marvin and Prince. He took those blueprints, extrapolated them and created a world that evolved with every release yet still clouded just enough to make him an enigma. He was a one of one. RIP D'Angelo. 🕊️

I'm shocked to hear about Malcolm-Jamal Warner passing I listened to him on Melyssa Ford's podcast, where he spoke with such integrity about his career, choosing roles that avoided harmful stereotypes about Black people. He came across as a genuinely good person. Rest in peace.

[SEE THAT GURLLAH 🖤 @glynderella_]

Malcolm-Jamal Warner was not only Black television royalty, he was a Grammy Award winning poet and talented musician in a jazz band. May he rest in peace 💛

[April Showers 💋 @only1showers]
