To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this Black History Month all the more critical. 👊🏿

As we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the abolition of slavery in the U.S., two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, we reflect on the resilience and strength of the Black community. This day holds special significance as we consistently elevate Black voices and empower Black-owned companies. Juneteenth is a time to honor the struggles and sacrifices of generations past while renewing our commitment to a more just and equitable future. Today, we honor the legacy of Juneteenth!   #Juneteenth2024 #FreedomDay #DiversityInVesting  #EqualityForAll  #InvestInTheFuture
