Juneteenth ~ A Celebration of Freedom
Lee County, AL NAACP Branch 5038
Friends and Family,
HAPPY JUNETEENTH!
Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and a call to action. Whether you are at work today, engaging in community service, or simply enjoying the day off, I challenge each of you to take a moment to reflect on the progress we have made and the additional work that still needs to be done. I also challenge each of is to recommit ourselves to the fight for equality and justice.
At the end of the day, Juneteenth is a testament to the faith, strength, hope and perseverance of those who came before us. As a result, may we never forget them, and may we always honor the resilience and courage that our ancestors demonstrated on a regular basis as they fought for our freedom.
And lastly, may we continue to learn from our past and work towards a future; specifically, a future where freedom is a reality for everyone and a future where everyone in this world is truly free.
Wishing you a day filled with reflection, joy, and a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
