Music Speaks When Words Fail
Appreciate our freedom, learn from our past, and build a better future. ~ A.M.
On Juneteenth I can't help but listen to song Black Butterfly a few times. This song is inspirational and instrumental in teaching the younger generation about struggles of those that came before. I can recall recitals from my youth where there would be someone singing or dancing to the song.

My favorite part of the song is:
“Black Butterfly,
sailed across the waters
tell your sons and daughters
what the struggle brings”
tell your sons and daughters
what the struggle brings”
