Tomorrow is Juneteenth, a long overdue federal holiday observed since 1866. This weekend (and every day quite frankly), let's reflect on the state of our country as experienced by Black and Brown Americans, from the inception of our nation to the present day. Let's commemorate those who have fought for progress, engage in conversations about race and those lingering tenets of racial oppression, and let's promise to continue the hard work for equity and true independence from deeply rooted racism in our country.
