I AM a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant male just a few months shy of my ninth decade.
What I am NOT is ignorant or uninformed. What biases I have are based solely on my ethical makeup, not on ill-chosen ideas of any sort of superiority.
My belief system is simple. Everybody deserves a chance, An opportunity to raise one's family in peace and free from want, with the hope that each generation will have things better than the one before. On June 19, 1865, that opportunity became closer to the grasp of all Americans.
Juneteenth is one of the most important holidays we have. It symbolizes the hopes and dreams all Americans have as we continue to strive toward a more perfect nation. Let us never lose sight of that.
We are all in the same boat. If there are a few who would rock the boat, attempt to overturn or sink it, it is our sacred obligation to resist them with all our might.
