Juneteenth, Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. And while today is a day to celebrate, it's also a day to remember the work still to be done because the fight for freedom and equality extends to healthcare. Disparities in migraine and headache care for Black Americans exist at all levels; from diagnosis to treatment. And because Black Americans are underrepresented in clinical trials, there are significant knowledge gaps in understanding how diseases, treatments, and preventive measures perform across different populations. We can and must do better and that's why we're passionate about passing the NIH Clinical Trial Diversity Act. Learn more about the bill here: https://lnkd.in/evy3vTtn

I’m editing this post, because of the number of people who still don’t understand why this is unacceptable and are defending this mess. If this newspaper has other ads for Black History Month showcasing the achievements of Black residents, then please send those to me. I want to see the ad for Women’s History Month and see if it contains pictures of ALL MEN. Let’s see if there is outrage about that. At the bottom of this ad, in tiny letters it says “celebrating the achievements and accomplishments of Black Canadians…”. Which ones exactly? Because the majority of this ad space is celebrating people OTHER than “Black Canadians”. Apparently, the faces and phone numbers are WAY MORE important than this because the font is 2X bigger. Please raise your hand if you have ever needed a phone number in order to contact a politician about ANYTHING. The majority of folks don’t even vote, so I already know the answer to that. Does paying for a BHM ad = being a decent person that treats Black people fairly? If so, then why would they bother being against racism, when all they have to do is pay for one add in February? That’s way less work. By that reasoning, all congress people who are against DEI and vote against civil rights have to do is take out a Black History Month ad in their local newspaper and that’s it! Got it! If the RESIDENTS (NOT US residents that know NOTHING about the racial climate there) of this city know why NONE of the Black politicians paid for ads celebrating Black History in THIS newspaper and ONLY these non-Black politicians did, please send that information to me. In the year 2024 of my Lord, to assume that Black people have malicious intent involving situations you know nothing about, and that NON BLACK people are innocent angels, just wanting to celebrate Black History Month is incredibly naive and gullible. Feel free to write your own post if you like, that way YOU can control those comments.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history. Most individuals are aware of the festivities and history surrounding Independence Day. However, when the United States was free in 1776, enslaved Black people were not. In reality, it took another 87 years for Black people to be recognized as free. Even yet, it took another two years for freedom, after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for the final enslaved individuals to be released in Galveston, Texas. First flown in 2000, the Juneteenth flag symbolizes freedom over slavery. As the longest-running African American holiday, Juneteenth is an important holiday where communities come together to acknowledge the injustices that Black Americans endured but also to celebrate their rich cultures and accomplishments since then. It is a celebration of the journey and independence of Black people in the United States, as well as an excellent occasion to recognize the many contributions that Black people have made to American culture.

#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.
