JUNETEENTH in Harlem.
This is what America is about.
Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.
It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Rap taught more kids about politics, poverty, and survival than any classroom ever did.

The story of the Great Migration often overlooks Black businesses that built Detroit
Detroit’s Black population grew sixfold from 1910 to 1920, and many businesses that sprouted to welcome the newcomers flourished.
