Juneteenth, a day of freedom and pride,
a day to remember the struggles and strides
of those who fought for their right to be free,
and celebrate the end of slavery.
For me, Juneteenth is a day of reflection,
to honor the strength of those who fought oppression,
to remember the pain and suffering they endured,
and to celebrate their resilience and courage.
It’s a day to remember the stories of our past,
to recognize the sacrifices that were made to last,
to acknowledge the challenges we still face,
and to work towards a future of justice and grace.
Juneteenth is a day to celebrate Black joy,
to embrace our culture and all that we enjoy,
to dance, to sing, to laugh and to play,
to celebrate our history in a joyful way.
It’s a day to remember the legacy of those who came before,
to honor their contributions and the struggles they bore,
to recognize their strength and their determination,
and to carry on their fight for liberation.
Juneteenth is a day of unity and solidarity,
to come together as a community in solidarity,
to stand up against racism and inequality,
and to work towards a world of true equality.
For me, Juneteenth is a day of hope,
a day to remember that we can overcome,
that we can rise above the pain and the fear,
and that we can create a better world that is near.
So on this Juneteenth, let us celebrate and remember,
the strength and resilience of those who fought for our freedom,
and let us continue their fight for justice and equality,
until we reach a world of true liberty.
