Today should be a legal holiday all across our nation. The liberation Juneteenth commemorates is cause for celebration by every single one of us. Sadly though it also reminds us how equality can be delayed. The quotation "all men are created equal," part of the US Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson penned in 1776 back in 1776, doesn't have an asterisk. It doesn't say all except for the Blacks. There is still so much work to be done, but suddenly many people are waking up. We can and we must change. Hate is not an option. Black Lives Matter!
