150th Anniversay of Juneteenth

Causes and Awareness


Juneteenth

We celebrate the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth with mournful hearts on the heels of the nine people murdered in the terrorist hate crime in Charleston, SC.

Reflecting On Freedom

To have freedom is great, but to know what to do with that freedom establishes true liberty. Acting out love and self-control is what makes a civil society. If we get to heart of the matter are we radiating love and justice for all, or are we rotten to core? Roots run deep and will always bear fruit of the same kind. If we transform our hearts we can change our world.

The law may term you "free", but only you can free yourself. Understand history are be doomed to repeat it. Appreciate our freedom, learn from the past, and build a better future.
