How does our understanding of the past shape democracy today? Loook closely at the images here and reflect on the disservice we do to the people in these photographs (and ourselves) when we fail to confront to horrors of Slavery, the role it played in the Confederacy, and the way these narratives shape our understanding of the Reconstruction.
#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX, to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of "June" and "19th" — for over 150 years. Though President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1st, 1863, freed all enslaved people in the Confederacy, its announcement and enforcement relied upon the presence of Union troops, including members of the United States Colored Troops. Although some were aware of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, it wasn't enforced by the Union Army in Galveston, TX, until June 19th, 1865. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of ending slavery in the United States. Today, annual Juneteenth celebrations include family reunions, religious sermons, barbecues, and much more. Two years ago, President Joe Biden opened the signing of Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday with these words: "Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come."

Today we celebrate a landmark moment in American history, Juneteenth – a day that signifies the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States 159 years ago. Also known as Freedom Day, it’s a day that is not only a celebration of freedom and human rights, but also a stark reminder of the resilience, strength, and contributions of African Americans to the socio-economic fabric of this nation. This day serves as a reminder that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzzwords but values that we should integrate into both our personal and professional lives. And as a community of professionals, while we strive for success, innovation, and growth, we should also be striving for understanding, empathy, and solidarity. So, as we commemorate Juneteenth, let's do more than just remember - let's act. Today and always, let's educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and make tangible efforts to ensure that our workplaces reflect the values this day represents. To learn more about the profound significance of this day, please visit below. #Juneteenth #Diversity #Inclusion #Freedomday

Semi-Retired, Sharpening My Writing Skills on LinkedIn Commenting on the Lighter Side of Business, Politics, and, Oh Yeah—Disaster Response Because of Climate Change. Is Insurance Obsolete? Look for my White Paper Soon!
YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.
We remember and honor the sacrifices made by American men and women throughout history this #MemorialDay. We also firmly denounce the disgraced former president who besmirches their memory by calling them "suckers and losers."

Bridging Divides, Building Futures Views expressed are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of my various affiliations.
Juneteenth for many in our country is a day of celebration, marking the at least symbolic end of slavery in the United States on June 19th, 1865. It is an important celebration that should be honored by all, particularly as many would want to erase part of our history. Given that this day was over 2 months after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, almost 3 years after the Emancipation Proclamation (which only applied to areas occupied by Confederate forces), and a month after the disbanding of the Confederate military department in Texas (not to mention after the ratification of the United States Constitution decades earlier), Juneteenth can very possibly be an example of the Rev. Dr. King's statement that "justice too long delayed is justice denied." I believe those of us who identify as white and continue to enjoy the privileges our culture extends with that, we must be mindful of the ongoing work we each need to do both internally, in our families, our communities, our places of employment, in our civic engagements, our faith communities, and any other sector of our lives as we move toward equity and inclusion for all persons. For many of us, we must be careful not to think a celebration absolves us from the work that still needs to be done. Dr. Jemar Tisby speaks to Juneteenth [https://lnkd.in/gTSgeH4H]. I welcome his voice as a scholar, an activist, and a person of faith. I also share a prayer from the Catholic Climate Covenant. I am always wary when "thoughts and prayers" are invoked, but I also believe in it importance as well. #diversityinclusion #juneteenth #equityandinclusion #equitydiversityinclusion #restorativejustice
