Here’s to a jubilant #Juneteenth! Carolina Jews for Justice is proud to celebrate this national holiday of emancipation. As we gather to share good food and good cheer, let’s take a moment to remember that the liberation project is still yet unfinished. Juneteenth, in fact, commemorates a story of liberty withheld and freedom delayed. There will always be forces working against justice — including apathy and ignorance. Which is why the work for social and racial justice must continue! Today, as we celebrate freedom from chattel slavery, we want to hold up the righteous fight for reparations being waged in North Carolina communities — from Asheville and High Point to Raleigh and Wilmington. “Juneteenth, more than anything, commemorates the potential of freedom. … The work of liberation for black Americans is still in progress. This work is not something that can be done alone. The Jewish community must be involved, not simply because it is the right thing to do, but because our very future is bound up in it too. It is time for the Jewish community to stand next to the black Jews in our midst, and shoulder-to-shoulder with the broader black community. Let the Jewish community take cues from black leaders who ask them to reckon with hard truths — truths like the fact that the wealth of America was built on the back of African slaves from whom our black community is largely descended. Truths like the fact that many Jews in pre-Civil War America were silent on slavery, and some did, in fact, own slaves. Truths like, while many in our Jewish community have been able to access reparations for our communal tragedy of the Holocaust, black Americans continue to fight for theirs.” #socialjustice #racialjustice #reparations

EVERYONE has worth! As therapists, WE SERVE the human condition. As eternal students of occupation and all the subdisciplines thereof, we empower, we bridge the gap of HOPE and realization!
The "Rankins" have had a varied service history, originating in Europe and then migrating with a somewhat controversial narrative of its day. It transcended dissent of the age, from Ohio through PA, WV, and KY, and converted viewpoints until the unpopular narratives became acceptable, to the degree that liberty and equality became adoptable perspectives. Because of them, and our ancestor's dedication, we do not suffer as much for expressed truths. Remember that abiding by a truth in which YOU believe may not make you accepted by many, but it can plant the seeds that empower an enduring needed precept that goes far beyond the populism of the time. It is not for us to empower our standing with the acceptance of power-wielding idealogues but to enrich the world with an embraced truth that, when freed, will empower others. Identify the truths in which you stand, invest in them, and dedicate your mind, body, and spirit to them. If one person or a nation needs to hear it, preach, practice, and spread the truth through whatever occupation you pursue. It may be that self-actualization results, but the truth that touches others will outlive us and our comprehension of its historical progeny. Remember those who struggled for liberty, for US all, and revealed the injustices we must vigilantly defend against. From that, we should NOT divide ourselves, but unite. Find that truth, study it and invest faith and effort... then unleash it, and all its good upon the world. Just a truth https://lnkd.in/gYhXAH6b

Anthony Raimondo, Ph.D., Th.D: It is my goal (now that I’m rapidly recovering from a crisis of health) to reposition my bi-vocational consultancy and ministry — to began doing PODCASTS, WEBINARS, and PHYSICAL MEETINGS, around a broad range of important subjects. The history surrounding IRISH SLAVES is critical information for Black Folks, to understand “how” significant the interwoven-tapestry of ALL AMERICANS “really is”, in studying SOCIOLOGY or “CULTURAL PATHOLOGY” — which is a term that expands the understanding, by focusing on the cultural symbols and dynamics that guide social behavior. AND — It does so without “stigmatizing” an entire group. Doing a series about “SOCIAL PATHOLOGY” is critically important, because a part of what needs DISMANTLING and REBUILDING, requires the study of social problems that arise from human behavior in the “SPECIFIC” — cultural, social, economic, and physical contexts. These problems are often negatively valued by society — assigned to particular groups, and can be aggregated into “NEIGHBORHHOD GRADES”. As some may be aware — REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS use a system of four classes, A, B, C, and D, to CATEGORIZE neighborhoods. Class “A” neighborhoods are the most desirable, while Class “D” neighborhoods are lower-income, and have fewer community resources..WOW!! LET’s TALK SOON, and see if there’s the potential for partnership..WS-3 w/Walter L. Smith III (WS-3) and WS-3 Enterprises & Associates, LLC.

Should American Churches Celebrate Juneteenth? The Apostle Paul tells us that we need to have solidarity with each other. We need to rejoice with our brothers and sisters that rejoice and weep with our brothers and sisters that weep. This solidarity is crucial to the American church moving towards genuine multiethnic unity. In 1865, federal troops arrived by ship in Galveston, not to proclaim freedom but to enforce the freedom already proclaimed 2 ½ year earlier. Of the 6000 soldiers that disembarked in Galveston, 4000 were black! Imagine the imagery as Galveston was a small town of about 10,000 at the time. What is Juneteenth? Why should we remember it? How is it relevant to building multiethnic unity in the church today? And how has Black America preserved the gospel? This 75-minute documentary gives a powerful telling on Juneteenth and how the legacy of Juneteeth continues to shape us today. Be warned in advance. This documentary can evoke deep emotion. https://lnkd.in/gvRpbhAT
