There's burning anger in me whenever I see whiteness centering itself as leading voices of our communities.

Whether it's about Civil Rights, BLM, or #Juneteenth , just for today, please make a conscience effort to amplify Black Voices celebrating our History & lived experience.
2/Here are a few historical & Civil Rights experts you can amplify especially today: https://mobile.twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1273938522454593543
3/Promote big changes and little changes that make conscience efforts to better include our real history within the American experience: https://mobile.twitter.com/brakktonbooker/status/1273952526304530432
4/Make sure the true meaning of #JuneteenthDay is celebrated and not lost in the multitude of interpretations. https://mobile.twitter.com/etanthomas36/status/1273923025507844097
5/Amplify those who have kept family records, who generously share their difficult history, and who whisper their ancestors' names everytime we make gains towards the recognition of our full humanity. https://mobile.twitter.com/Deoliver47/status/1273978851622899712
6/Amplify, amplify, amplify, until every attempt to manipulate, hide, or deny our lived experience is silenced in shame. https://mobile.twitter.com/NMAAHC/status/1273966082206949381
7/And this isn't about silencing proven-true allies.

This is about recognizing a Black celebration where Blackness is amplified, Blackness is acclaimed, & Blackness is depicted as the center of its own Black history. #JuneteenthDay https://mobile.twitter.com/ava/status/1273922480038543360
