Jack,
Juneteenth celebrates resilience. The resilience of enslaved Blacks in Galveston, Texas, who after being told they were free two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, forged new lives.
It’s the same resilience we have when we dare to dream and value hope in uncertain times. In running and so far, succeeding in a campaign where no one thought we had a shot.
We must channel this resilience in fighting for our future. Many Mississippi families live in uncertainty and hardship, and systemic disparities plague the narrative. |
💼 A Black MS household earns $28,285 less than a white one does. 💵 Black women in Mississippi make 56 cents on every dollar.
🎓 Black college graduates owe $25,000 more in student loan debt than their white peers. |
