Yo, Happy Juneteenth people. This is Opal Tometi, and I am one of the three Black women who co-founded Black Lives Matter. And I have to say, this Juneteenth feels extra special. For some, this day is an annual acknowledgement. For others, this may be your first time recognizing the significance of this day. Whatever the case may be—welcome. For me, Juneteenth means freedom. It means dignity. It means being steadfast in the joy and liberty that is our birthright. 

Juneteenth is a historic day in the United States and it deserves more attention than it receives. It's important that we understand that there was a two and a half year gap between the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of slavery in practice. What it teaches us is that flipping the status quo isn't as simple as just enacting a law, but it's just a starting point.

Now, I personally love Juneteenth because it represents Black agency. That we have an ability to take charge, build power, and write our own future. And so I, like many others, celebrate Juneteenth the way some celebrate 4th of July—events, cookouts, and now digital gatherings as a community. Days like this fuel me with Black joy that keeps me resilient in challenging times. 

This year, Juneteenth holds an even greater significance because as a collective, we are in a capital H history-writing moment. And y'all, I am just so proud of us and I encourage you to continue to create time and space for Black joy, to celebrate and recognize our victories while we stay focused on our path ahead. Y'all, together we're building a world we can be proud of, one where all Black lives matter, a world where we are all finally free. Happy Juneteenth everybody—let's keep going.
