Wow if Juneteenth just a giant request for money? If you feel guilty about the color of your skin, that you can’t control, feel free to donate to one of the charities listed in the article. Can Opal Lee’s define healing? I’m guessing Don Lemon won’t be able to make this CCN celebration this year.

We actually give to a homeless/drug Christian oriented center to a community in our backyard, Baltimore City.

Direct Quotes:

Though Juneteenth -- June 19th—is newly minted as an o cial holiday, many African American communities have celebrated the date for generations. Getting the event federally sanctioned took years of hard e ort.

In her nineties, civil rights activist Opal Lee hosted an annual 2.5-mile walk to demand Juneteenth's national recognition and also honor the seldom-told history of some 250,000 enslaved in Galveston, Texas who did not learn of their freedom until two and half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

"We have to heal. You've got to know what happened and you've got to heal from that," Lee told CNN in a 2021 interview

During CNN's pre-show coverage of the event beginning at 7PM ET, CNN's Don Lemon will honor Black artists and advocates working to rectify inequality.

Long-standing injustices and practices have made it hard for African Americans to become business proprietors and homeowners over the years. The U.S. Department of Commerce finds that "minority-owned businesses" are more likely to pay higher interest rates on loans, but many do not even apply for business loans because they are less likely to receive them. This is one factor that creates such a large racial disparity in wealth. The Federal Reserve finds that the "average Black household earns about half as much as the average White household," making home ownership much less attainable for African Americans. According to a recent CNN story, "72% of White Americans are homeowners while only 42% of Black Americans own a home."

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

  https://time.com/4297996/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce/ I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag. The Time tries to cover for Hillary Clinton boasting about the health benefits and her collection of hot sauces. If that is true why not say that in the interview? Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill.
