Juneteenth

        It is the day slaves knew they were free.

    Something to celebrate and rejoice about!

    But since then, things have not gone well for Black and Brown and poor White folks.

    There's still a lot to fix in the country.

    But today was better than July 4, because we all became Americans on that day.

    Really, but not quite yet.

    Happy Juneteenth. 

    Keep working for equality.

    Here I am, a white man with English roots in a $330K house asking for equality.

    We all need to examine ourselves as we try to make this nation more equal.
