Jacqui Lewis Instagram – My offering to you: The Star Spangled Banner Deconstructed for Juneteenth. 🇺🇸❤️✊🏾
In 2020 I played with the lyrics and Shelley Doty recorded herself playing the Jimi Hendrix version.
This Juneteenth let us remember that none of us are free until we are ALL free.
This is my offering, my meditation for you- take 90 seconds to watch this video and reflect on our history and our present as a nation. We are in darkness but we CAN walk towards light together. How do I know? Because my people have survived for centuries and found joy. We CAN get free.
“Oh say can’t you see what is plain to behold,
Though we shout liberty there are too many in chains.
We are shackled by greed and the fear we are small.
Yet this truth must be told, there is one God who loves all.
Won’t you give me your hand and together we’ll stand
With radical love heal our souls and this land?
Oh say can’t we end all this fighting and strife
And walk toward the light that we ALL might be free”
