    Happy Juneteenth y'all!

    Me and my parents are celebrating this Sunday in a mix-up of Juneteenth and Father's day
    my dad is cooking most-likely Gumbo and busting out his Djembe drum for musical accompaniment in the backyard <3

    anybody else celebrating this year? :'D

    @lilmisskushy: thanks! it's getting more traction this year with all the upsets around police brutality and such
    I've been wanting to celebrate it with my family for a few years now, so we're finally taking initiative!

    @kitalpha hart: It was celebrated more sporadically depending on if families knew about it, if you wanted to start it up, etc.
    i learned about it in my African American Studies classes in university, but haven't done a real real celebration for it until this year!

    @totalanimefan: I'm REAL excited lol
    thanks~

Happy Juneteenth! that sounds like a really fun celebration, I hope you have a good time

if you're unsure of how to celebrate Juneteenth, consider starting up a fundraiser on Facebook. For the next few days, Facebook is automatically donating $19 to every fundraiser for one of their selected nonprofits fighting racial injustice - up to $5 mil!
