✊🏾✊🏾❤❤❤✊🏾✊🏾in solidarity, as we are one. Period. Repost @viajero WE CELEBRATE JUNETEETH! Even though slavery was not abolished in Puerto Rico until 1873. Together, as relatives of enslaved people in Puerto Rico, we honor and acknowledge those who always represented our Blackness and fought for the freedom of our people, our traditions, and our identity. You can feel it most in our music within each Bomba y Plena smack of the drum. We call on our ancestors to be present and celebrate with us. For each and every enslaved ancestor that attempted to revolt against the oppressor... the ones that succeeded to escape enslavement and those who were not successful in obtaining their freedom... We acknowledge you! Today is just ONE of the days that we celebrate, honor and acknowledge the freedom of our ancestors. Today we celebrate our ancestors in the United States that were freed from enslavement in 1866. May we continue to acknowledge and represent our history, our ancestors with honor and dignity, give them PROPER REPRESENTATION and the seats they deserve at EVERY table! .... And CALL OUT ANYONE who does not! (Without hesitation). NOW GO LISTEN TO BOMBA Y PLENA ALL DAY AND FEEL THE SPIRIT OF YOUR ANCESTORS! #Juneteeth #PuertoRico #AfroBoricua Reposted from @viajero https://www.instagram.com/p/CQT3Lx5Bybo/?utm_medium=tumblr
