America (and I) is learning about Juneteenth, and its significance in striving to end racism. I am sad this is something many of us didn’t much know about until recently. I suppose it is like Kwanza, an important holiday to many that I never heard about in my youth.
How much history is lost? How many people’s lives, and the things that were important to them, are not known to others? It makes me realize, as I get older, that every person’s story is important. How can we make certain they are heard? And celebrated?
Blessings. And prayers.
