Today marks
the 157th anniversary of Juneteenth, the day when the news of abolition
finally reached enslaved Black people in Texas — a full two and a half
years after the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a day to honor and celebrate Black freedom and Black
resistance. It is a day to reflect on the hard work still to be done and
to remember that the fight for freedom and equality is a tireless one that
demands constant work — from every single one of us. 

I have been on a long journey to grow and learn — I am still learning. One
thing I do know, as civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hammer said,
“Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.”

Personally, I will be spending this Juneteenth continuing to uplift the
Black political leaders that I have supported via my work at The Next 50,
learning more about Black history in my community, and exploring the ways
I can support the ongoing fight for racial justice — both in my daily life
and as a potential member of Congress.

Thanks for reading,

Zak
