Happy Juneteenth! Despite all they keep trying to do we are free. And we always will be.

On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice.
At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy. Our documentary explores Dr. Pace's life, his work, and his decades-long commitment to the ongoing fight for liberation.
This Juneteenth, let us not forget that pursuit of freedom is not buried in the past. It is the responsibility of our future.

@TheAfrocentricI I’m still not ok with it being a federal holiday:

The day is for community and folks charging $45 for a party. No libation, just capitalism.

Every event on Juneteenth is meant to be free, do not piss me off.

The Enslaved South Carolinians Who Rowed to Freedom | Virginia McGee Richards
Along the Lowcountry’s Inner Passage, they steered south by starlight as slave catchers pursued them toward Spanish Florida. This #Juneteenth, their names should not be forgotten

@Solayne_x This is a top 10 black American moment in my lifetime.

@SanaMirpuri I really hope the team doesn’t go to the White House.

I can celebrate the Knicks and also stand vehemently against its ownership and both can coexist at the same time.

Juneteenth is for us BLK Americans. End of discussion!

This is a book which explores the connection between African American and African Guyanese Pan-Africanists in the 1970s. This is the very tradition which my Pan-African work emerged from. This is a tradition that Africans in the US, Guyana, and the rest of the world must return to.

@DrianneBelleza These comments are hilarious. You are not crazy sis. I forgot he produced that Nina Simone movie. His apology was more offensive.

Why do I feel like Spike Lee was definitely working on a Knicks documentary and he wasn’t given access to the Knicks archives?

A multi-part Knicks documentary is in the works at A24 & HBO. The series will follow the Knicks' entire history up to their first NBA championship in 53 years. Directed by Ben Stiller.

Variety sucks for this headline💩
America hates unions because they put power in the workers hands & an old school almost extinct defined benefit pension in their pocket
Most grandparents couldn’t have left you that old house w/o union wages & a pension supporting them

Indie producers can still make movies like “Obsession” cheaply in the U.S. by shooting nonunion. The breakout horror hit filmed in L.A. for just $750,000, but as domestic production slows, IATSE has been pushing harder to “flip” nonunion projects — driving up costs. “The films I grew up making, for $500,000 or $1 million, the unions are really interested in having those be signatory projects,” producer David Kaplan says.

@TheAfrocentricI But Black Americans influenced all those different music styles.
English
Folks are saying they don’t want to hear soca, dancehall, amanpiano, or afrobeats (which is hard because of NYC’s diversity & DJs are often open format). Many want only Black American music but that’s also not just Hip Hop & R&B. They can also play Go Go, House, Bounce, Funk, etc

The Juneteenth discourse has been the same since I’ve been on this app it’s crazy lol i don’t think there’s anything wrong with black Americans wanting a space for them and them alone where their culture is at the forefront. That shouldn’t be debated at all . Thing is though , NYC is a huge cultural melting pot and will have everyone celebrating it. i do understand the frustration of not being able to easily find a space where they can solely party to the music they want to hear . I know Harlem will have so many of these events so I’d say start there .

A great roommate will be with you through thick and thin…but the best roommate will win $1.2B for universal childcare with you. @ZohranKMamdani and I have been working together since 2021 to deliver on the essentials that Brooklyn needs. Proud to have his endorsement.

At the Senegalese Association of America on 116th Street in NYC, a few hundred people have gathered to watch Senegal take on France, given they can’t afford the extortionist ticket prices.
The NYPD has closed off the block and, citing “community safety”, is preventing more people from entering to avoid what officers describe as overcrowding.
(There is ample space on the sidewalks & the road itself)
The measures have also hurt local grocery stores, cafés and restaurants that were hoping to benefit from the match-day crowds. The NYPD has also been needlessly aggressive.
