Keeping it Real: Freedom Day And The Unfinished Symphony

I started a new Juneteenth tradition for myself this year. Although I have always acknowledged the day and its importance in our history I usually did so with a slight tinge of bitterness over how it reminded me of an ‘insult added to injury’ for the leaders in Texas not to free their slaves. My thoughts were further darkened by the cruel irony that while we can be critical of what Texas did, we must also remember the Emancipation Proclamation did not free the enslaved –only those in Confederate states.

Juneteenth: The Unintended Consequences of Commercialization

At 89 years old in 2016, Ms. Opal Lee walked 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. in order to gain support from Congress to recognize June 19 — Juneteenth — as a national holiday. Lee made the trek by traveling two and a half miles each day to symbolize the two and a half years Black Texans in Galveston waited to receive the news of their freedom on June 19, 1865 — two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.

Keeping it Real: We Are Not for Sale– A Response to Wells Fargo and Other Corporate Duplicity

The idea of doubleness is at the core of duplicity. Duplicity comes from a Latin word meaning “double” or “twofold,” and its original meaning in English has to do with a kind of deception in which you intentionally hide your true feelings or intentions behind false words or actions. If you are being duplicitous there are two yous: the one you’re showing and the one you’re hiding. And—key to the idea of duplicity—you’re hiding that you in order to make people believe something that’s not true. – Merriam Webster.

Keeping it Real: Killing Children and the Myth of Good Guys with Guns

“We must elect people who are committed to moving this nation toward a more perfect union,” I wrote last week. “Whether we are protecting Black lives or the lives of children in elementary classrooms or those in a gay bar, at an outdoor concert, in church, or shopping for groceries, the only way to begin to end [gun] violence is to elect those who are willing and committed to change, to put[ting] an end to white supremacy and a gun culture that has spiraled out of control.”
