Dear Brothers and Sisters,   One of the great legends of the Black community's experience in America is that of Juneteenth.   Tradition has it that on June 19,1865 our ancestors in Texas were the last indentured servants to be informed of their freedom.  Penniless, having never owned a thing in their lives, our ancestors embarked on a arduous journey to build upon this "freedom" knowing that all would fail if they did not have communal solidarity.  Our ancestors knew that history would ultimately judge them on what they did and how they did it and their impact would determine the course of Black people for future generations.   Our ancestors struggle and suffering is a significant part of American history.    Almost 150 years later, we in Massachusetts have both a black president and governor, yet our community is more isolated, more ill-informed, more powerless and in pain than at any time in our lives.  Depravation has replaced hope and for the first time since our ancestor's journey, the next generation of black folk will not outlive, out earn, and own less than the generation preceding it. . It is no secret...in order to go forward, we must build community. The purpose of this letter is to ask that we join together AS A FAMILY OF BLACK ORGANIZATIONS  this Juneteenth, June 19th in an activity that seeks to reach out to the community while also showing our collective power when we as Black organizations work together.   Specifically, we propose that Black organizations and its members join together in a door to door canvassing in the black neighborhoods of Boston on Sunday June 19th from 1-4pm.  We will visit houses and projects, leaving important information about programs and services, engaging our brothers and sisters in conversation as to the important issues affecting their communities and their lives, and using the canvas as an opportunity to help determine possible new community activists.    This is an activity by black people for black people. This is not about any one organization taking credit, styling or profiling...this is about something that we all must and can do together as a singular family of black people and organizations, committed to the cause of empowerment and  justice in the black community.       If the Black community is to have anything remotely resembling a future, it is crucial that we take the  meaning of Juneteenth as an opportunity to work together to help our people.  It will be fun... it will be good...it will make our ancestors proud.   Please, as a family, let's do something together that could  make a difference to our community and to each other.   Please get back to me and let me know your thoughts...good, bad or indifferent.  Hopefully you will respond by saying that you're in!   Peace and thanks,   Horace           42 Seaverns Ave Jamaica Plain, MA  02130 617-522-3349 Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
