Henry Simmons Instagram – Celebrating Juneteenth, while recognizing there’s still much more work that needs to be done.
Thank you @alberttate for your eloquence!
********EDITED REPOST*******
……Juneteenth is a day to reimagine a society which affirms the dignity of all people and fights for justice for all. It is an opportunity to reclaim and redefine what freedom and justice mean. This is a day for communal celebration and joyous liberation.
Let us reimagine a world where we don’t settle for a holiday, but seek to live in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters every single day.
Let us not settle for performative allyship; let us work for equitable partnership.
Let us not settle for one verdict; let us work to change the whole system.
Let us not settle for anti-hate legislation; let us work to build the Beloved Community.
Let us not settle for a sanitized history; let us work to tell the whole truth to the next generation.
Through this work we pray, the God of creation, liberation, and celebration be glorified.
~Albert Tate
