On June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the United States, Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston Texas to free more than 250,000 Americans who were still enslaved. #Juneteenth celebrates this day, marking our country's second independence day when all Americans were granted freedom from enslavement. Though Black Americans gained their basic right to freedom on this day, institutional racism still impacts the lives of Black Americans. Urban planning decisions such as redlining, interstate development, and the siting of polluting industries, still overwhelmingly impact lower income and predominantly Black communities. These past decisions decrease health, opportunity, and the freedoms to life, liberty, justice and equality we hold to be self-evident. There is still much to do to eliminate #environmentalracism in America. We believe that everyone deserves clean and safe places to live, work, and play. Through the assessment and cleanup of brownfields, we help transform sites that once perpetuated environmental injustice into spaces that benefit communities. CCLR is committed to continuing the fight for racial justice and equity in the communities we support.

Today, System1 commemorates Juneteenth, marking a day of profound significance in American history. This day serves as a reminder of our ongoing journey towards equality and justice, celebrating freedom, resilience, and progress.

On this Juneteenth, please consider or share your alignment to the following: Reflection is meaningful but action is necessary!!! It's time to show that we learn from history and demonstrate understanding that we know it is inappropriate to try and rewrite history. We must ensure that truth prevails and we must respond in kind by leaving a legacy of FORWARD and not BACKWARD movement for younger generations. Is this not OUR moral imperative? #forward; #Juneteenth; #DEI

When sundown towns and the speaking world collide. A sundown town intentionally excludes Black people by force, law, presence or customs. It's still happening. Factors: anti-Black racism - systemic and otherwise. This week, I'm driving across WI to speak at a summit. My goal was to book a flight. I missed the alert. (Yes, book a flight. I dislike driving in general.) When outside of my city zone: I limit stops, monitor the speed limit and share my location with my circle. Also, I only drive during the daytime. Unfortunately, this isn't enough for certain people. I'm a Black woman wearing sister locs with green eyes. Some may ask: "Why would you speak there?" Speaking isn’t just about the insights—it’s about the space we share and the stories from those spaces. Sundown towns represent a dark history of exclusion. Yet, as speakers, advocates and change-makers, we have a unique opportunity to transform these spaces. Hope is very must active in my world. When we show up, it's a chance to challenge the status quo and open doors to conversations around... Diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, justice, etc. Many feel the weight of these experiences where history tries to silence us. If not, this is a privilege. P.S.

One week ago today, it was #WorldSocialJusticeDay! In honor of that day, especially considering it occurs during Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on an often mischaracterized and, subsequently, misunderstood group and movement in the U.S. — the Black Panther Party (BPP)! More often than not, the BPP was mischaracterized as comprised of anti-White Black militants; however, in reality, the BPP was a working-class youth-led movement that supported multiracial coalition building; supported their communities with equity-promoting Survival Programs, which provided free food, healthcare, and voter registration drives; promoted self-determination; and established schools in 9 different cities. Additionally, their vision extended beyond the national level. They saw the issues Black Americans have been forced to endure and face as connected to an African decolonization and global liberation movement. For example, Co-Founder Huey P. Newton drew comparisons between the Black American experience and the experience of colonized peoples, such as the Vietnamese. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” — Assata Shakur https://lnkd.in/gcc-qZaS #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #historic #history #justice #socialimpact #socialjustice #education #educational #blackpower #blackpride #blackpanther #blackpanthers #blackpantherparty #coalition #coalitionbuilding #equity #food #healthcare #voterregistration #votereducation #national #global #colonialism #colonization #racism #decolonization #decolonize #liberation #freedom #breakthechains #love #protection #support #community #communitybuilding #communityengagement #communityhealth #communitydevelopment #communityempowerment #empowerment #empowering #pride

https://lnkd.in/e3xm5nmX Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “second emancipation.” The first emancipation freed us from slavery. The second, from legal segregation. Today, we must strive for a third emancipation, uprooting the deep racial divisions that remain embedded in our institutions so we can live according to the ideals the Civil Rights Act represents. #leadershipmatters #justice #equityandinclusion

As Dr. George C. Fraser might put it: "You cannot consume your way into equality, and you cannot consume your way into power. A people who rely solely on consumption, buying the products of others without producing their own, will eventually find themselves consumed by others. In the 21st century, our mission as a community must be to shift from being mere consumers and renters to becoming owners and savers. Ownership and saving are the true pathways to power and lasting equality." https://lnkd.in/eBTdRCPV 🤭🤭😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
