Amanda Gorman Celebrates Juneteenth

From NPR: Poet Amanda Gorman celebrates the gift of Blackness for Juneteenth.

Liberty is something needed to be always fought for. 

America can rise above its worst aspects. America can also forget its better angels and hide in a fraudulent past of the good old days. 

America wants me to take responsibility for my crimes. I am doing so. Americans need take responsibility for the country,'s crimes and reform themselves and this country.

And Juneteenth celebrates just one of the United States’ 20 emancipation days – and the history of how emancipated people were kept unfree needs to be remembered, too from The Conversation.
