"… Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. Instead, it's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, things do get better. America can change." — President Barack Obama #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

Our upcoming lecture will interpret the "First Emancipation," when thousands of people of African heritage secured freedom by the end of the 18th century. They would establish many of America's earliest free communities of color, which became the stomping grounds of free African American religious, educational, civic, and, most notably, political expression well before most African-heritage people obtained emancipation after the Civil War. https://lnkd.in/gJihnVfG

GIVING UP: NOT AN OPTION. History is filled with inspiring tales of triumph over adversity. Take Helen Keller, who conquered blindness and deafness to become a renowned author and activist. Then there's Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison before becoming South Africa's first black president. These stories remind us that resilience can turn tragedy into triumph. _________________________________________________ #CareerSuccess #ProfessionalDevelopment #NetworkingGoals #LeadershipJourney #CareerGrowth #LinkedInNetworking #JobOpportunities #CareerTips #ProfessionalCommunity #BusinessConnections
