Juneteenth: What Does Freedom Mean to You Now? Think about it!

“Juneteenth is the celebration of ideals, freedom from physical bondage, and a striving towards mental and spiritual freedom for the emancipation of our collective consciousness. We must perpetually strive towards freedom and remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” What does freedom mean to you, NOW? Think about it.”
