Reflections for today on racial healing: We are in a hope struggle. You have to be able to believe things you haven't seen. That's a necessary condition for progress. "In fact, I actually believe that hopelessness is the enemy of justice because injustice prevails where hopelessness persists." - Bryan Stevenson In this video, Bryan Stevenson discusses the legacy of slavery and the vision behind creating the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and The Legacy Museum in Montgomery Alabama. Museums are a tool for battling the virus of racism. Once you visit these museums, you have the tools to serve as a vessel to battle this virus.

🎆 The History of the Fourth of July: Celebrating Independence and Resilience 🇺🇸 As we gather to celebrate the Fourth of July, it’s essential to reflect on the history and significance of this monumental day. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, marking the birth of the United States of America and its separation from British rule. The Declaration, primarily drafted by Thomas Jefferson, was a bold assertion of the colonies' desire for freedom and self-governance. It laid the foundation for a nation built on principles of liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. Over the years, the Fourth of July has become a day of unity and celebration, filled with fireworks, parades, and gatherings. It's a time to honor the bravery and vision of our Founding Fathers, as well as the countless individuals who have contributed to the nation's growth and success. At Walker Capital Partners, we recognize the importance of independence and resilience, values that are deeply ingrained in our nation's history and spirit. As we enjoy the festivities, let's also remember the significance of this day and the enduring strength it symbolizes. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #AmericanHistory #WalkerCapitalPartners #Liberty #Resilience

One of the reasons they are banning antiracist history books is because they don’t want people to learn how they constructed racism. Because the more we learn how they constructed racism, the more we learn how to deconstruct it and build equitable and just and democratic societies for all people. The more we build equitable and just and democratic societies, the more people of color resist their racist efforts to take us back and the more White people join in that antiracist resistance because they realize equitable and just and democratic societies benefit them more than a deeply unequal society ruled by fear-mongering fascists and tyrants spreading bigotry of all kinds to divide and conquer us.

On Juneteenth, we honor the profound legacy of resilience and liberation. This day marks not just the end of slavery, but the enduring spirit of hope and determination in the face of injustice. As we celebrate freedom, let us commit to building a future rooted in equality, understanding, and respect for all.  Read more about the Juneteenth History in this article by The New York Times: https://lnkd.in/dQP3RmM #Juneteenth #Emancipation #ContinuingTheJourney
