🧵🚨Juneteenth Is Not Pan-African🚨 The American Freedmen Legal Fund (AFLF) and the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust (FRFT) have issued a formal enforcement notice regarding the public misclassification of Juneteenth through generalized Pan-African branding and symbolism. Juneteenth is tied to the specific historical experience of Freedmen in the United States and should not be reframed into a generalized global identity movement.

Sterling K. Brown talks about why he chose to be part of the film “Is God Is” “So there’s the macro and the micro. I love Black women, and I love seeing Black women win, right? I thought this was an incredibly creative script, something different and new, and I think that we, as a community, have been asking for creative and new stories, right? And I feel like the more diverse the landscape of stories are that we get to tell, the more people will stop putting us into a box in terms of what a Black movie is, what a Black story is. We are everything, and so the opportunity to do everything is something that excites me. Aleshea (Harris) wrote a play, then she adapted the play, and she directed the play, and I think she did so brilliantly. I also love the idea that Black women get a chance to be messy in this film, like hella messy. I feel like oftentimes we’re asked, in many stories, to be voices of reason. Sort of the sensible side component of a larger story, and that’s not the case in this. That is exciting to me.” 🔗 rollingout.com/2026/05/16/why…
