Heading into downtown to walk around with a friend. There are Juneteenth things happening and we're likely to enjoy some of them, including a jazz performance in the park.

What should I, as a white person, wear to be properly dressed for the occasion? If I'm overthinking this or all my options are inappropriate, please feel free to tell me in the replies.

Boosts appreciated, especially as I need to leave within the next hour.

Juneteenth may have passed, but its story remains one of the most important in American history.

More than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were still waiting for freedom when Union troops arrived on June 19, 1865.

Our latest Aure Free Press deep dive explores freedom delayed, the struggle for equality, and why the legacy of Juneteenth still resonates today.

From Dalyah Jones: "So I think that’s the message for us, especially today: that we got to go from the plantation to the thicket. It’s gonna be tough, but we gotta take action. " https://www.texasobserver.org/juneteenth-emancipation-freedom-marronage-east-texas/

President Obama talked about the power of our shared values.

“And it’s why the exhibits here focus not just on policies but on the shared values that make democracy possible. A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law or beneath its protection. A belief in checks and balances in our government, and an accountability that comes with an independent judiciary, and a robust free press. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time. And a belief that qualities of character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor, those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives.”

Marking Juneteenth

> Recognizing the struggle of black people doesn’t mean we haven’t had our struggles. Lending your ear and trying to develop an understanding of what the black community faces everyday is not to say we don’t have things in life we face. It’s about listening and understanding. It’s about working together and doing our part.

An Age Coming To an End

What we are witnessing is an age coming to an end and these people are scared to death of becoming irrelevant. They are always gonna be the loudest near the end. That’s why we have to drown out that hate and be louder. We are on the right side of history and we can’t let the other side write that history.
