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

There has been a pattern of delayed justice when it comes to slavery and racism in the US. Juneteenth marks the day that the slaves in Texas finally became free — a whole 2 and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. And it just became a federal holiday in 2021. We can't even begin to untangle the complex trauma and damage that the fingerprints of slavery have imprinted on our country, still plainly visible today. But we can honor the sacrifices of those who helped end slavery, celebrate the progress that has been made, interrogate the innate privilege so many of us know all our lives, and make an effort to heal wounds. Celebrate Juneteenth. Celebrate freedom. Celebrate progress. And never stop demanding positive change and real equity.
