Current Events from One Year Ago Still Rhyme with the News Today

Last Juneteenth I reflected on true freedom. Plus The Iran War and Violence in General Seem to Never Leave the Headlines.

It seems that last Juneteenth, things were just as they are today. I do a “hotwash” of the 2025 Juneteenth Celebration. I talk about the responsibilities of freedom. I talk about the general order that freed the enslaved Africans in Texas on the original Juneteenth, and discuss how that and a book called “Barracoon” by Zora Neale Hurston sheds light on what freedom means.
