A trip to the downtown post office last week crossing my fingers that my son's and son-in-law's Father's Day cards would arrive by Saturday. (They got to their recipients on Monday).
In the post office lobby one of the postal workers had put up Juneteenth decorations and she used her own money. I admired her Juneteenth tree and read every one of the posters she had put in the windows. She thanked me for taking time to look at her display. I thanked her for her generosity and sharing the celebration. Juneteenth celebrates the ending of slavery in the US but looking at all these posters, all these people persevered through a long line of hardship and prejudice so their stories can be told. Black history is American history and Juneteenth acknowledges the past while nurturing hope for the future.
All Men, means All People.
ReplyDeleteYes it does.
DeleteSomething worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteIt is and Juneteenth brings awareness to an important part of history in the US.
DeleteWhat a wonderful display. Each one of those posters packs an important message.
ReplyDeleteIt's a well-done display and I hope people took the time to read and appreciate the message.
