Analysis of Juneteenth



Junteenth means the end of madness. The end of the insanity that a person can own another. That one person can possess another’s body, ideas and identity. The delusion that because of the amount of melanin in ones skin they can dictate the time of another.

Juneteenth means the joy of freedom. The ability to be ones own true self. The retraction of the limitations that others place upon oneself. The exploration of owning ones own distinctiveness.
