Juneteenth is like a basket, woven with the strands of our collective history, culture, and aspirations. It holds the rich tapestry of the past, the vibrant reality of the present, and the boundless potential of the future. This basket carries the stories of freedom, not just within the borders of America but extending its reach globally, symbolizing one of the purest expressions of liberty. At Juneteenth Speaks, our mission is to keep this basket full and flourishing, adding new strands of knowledge, celebration, and understanding with each passing year.<\/p>\n
