“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
~ Martin Luther King Jr., “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963
What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth is a holiday marking slaves in Texas learning in 1865 that they had been freed by President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The executive order outlawed slavery in Confederate states beginning Jan. 1, 1863, the midpoint of the Civil War.
The holiday has several other names that can be used interchangeably, including Freedom Day and Emancipation Day.
“Juneteenth is a unifying holiday,” said Steve Williams, president of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation, to USA Today in 2020. “It is the completion of the celebration of freedom in America.”

DAILY MINDSET
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance. It is the illusion of knowledge.” – Steven Hawking
One of the largest dangers in life is a closed mind.
Yet, very, very few, close on purpose.
We often don’t even realize it’s happening, until it’s too late.
It’s how our mind operates by default. When we think we have the answer, we stop looking for the solution. We not only stop seeking it out, but we no longer are even aware of the next idea, the next thought, as it passes us by. We blind ourselves.
It is not a plea to discount what we have learned. Cherish what we have learned! But instead, value the one thing we truly have – the willingness, to learn. That we have, in full. The willingness to listen to the next path, the next way. The willingness to stare, nakedly, at our weaknesses and address them. The willingness, to always be a student.
As Socrates said, “All I know, is that I know nothing.”
