Juneteenth

Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day that we celebrate and pay homage to those that helped paved the way so that we may be free as a people. Individuals such as Nat Turner, John Brown, Dred Scott, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman worked tirelessly to ensure that we as African Americans be free in mind body and spirit. But the real question is: Are we really free?
