This summer marks another year of commemorating Juneteenth and reflecting on the meaning of freedom. From June 19th to July 4th, we have had the opportunity to participate in a journey that both honors our past and brings us closer to a future where every voice is heard, and every vote counts.
For that reason, the journey from Juneteenth to July 4th is particularly symbolic. While July 4th symbolizes the freeing of the land and establishing the founding principles of democracy in the United States, Juneteenth represents the freeing and liberation of the people who live on it. By linking these two dates, we are reminded that the fight for freedom is ongoing and that true independence is achieved when everyone can exercise their rights fully.
