[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

On July 4, 1776, while white America celebrated its declaration of independence, approximately 500,000 enslaved Africans and their descendants remained in chains in the thirteen colonies. They made up roughly 20% of the colonial population of 2.5 million people, human beings denied the very liberty proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence.

📹Press play and let the song speak truth.

For my ancestors, there was no freedom to celebrate. There was no liberty. There was no justice. There was no equality. They were bought, sold, raped, whipped, branded, exploited, and treated as property while a nation declared that “all men are created equal.”

Today, there is a determined effort to sanitize that history, to pretend slavery was merely an unfortunate chapter, that enslavers were simply “men of their time,” and that the brutality of chattel slavery should be viewed through a softer lens. No. There is nothing ordinary about owning another human being. There is nothing admirable about building wealth and a nation on stolen labor, stolen lives, and stolen futures.

We do not celebrate July 4 because we were not free. Independence Day was not independence for Black people. Our ancestors remained enslaved for nearly another century. Then came Black Codes, Jim Crow, racial terror lynchings, legalized segregation, disenfranchisement, redlining, mass incarceration, and the ongoing struggle to be recognized as fully human. Our fight for freedom did not end in 1776, or even in 1865. In many ways, it continues today.

That is why Frederick Douglass asked, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” His question still confronts America’s conscience.

So today I ask another question:

What to Black people today is the Fourth of July?

Until liberty, justice, and equality are more than promises on paper, it remains a day that reminds us not only of America’s stated founding ideals, but of America’s unfinished work to actualize them 250 years later.

🏟️ Rio 2016

Running blindly in lane 8, Wayde van Niekerk made the mythical sub-43 barrier seem within reach after clocking a WR of 43.03s

He became the first male quarter-miler to set a WR at the Olympics since 1968

"It has been an honor to be by your side."

Former first lady Michelle Obama paid emotional tribute to her husband, former President Barack Obama, during the dedication ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. https://t.co/ssPKeiFS6P

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

History. Hope. Grace.

The Obamas reminded us that leadership can be intelligent, compassionate, and inspiring.

Their legacy continues…

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.

I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Charlamagne tha God: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency and class and poise and intelligence. That no longer exists now. Now that bar is in hell. Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo”

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

[NCAA Track & Field @NCAATrackField]
