Andree Blouin 🎈- “Child murderer! Child murderer!” she screamed as they dragged her from the mayor’s office. Racist doctors had killed her son, and nothing had been done. But she had a plan for revenge – and was eventually called “the most dangerous woman in Africa!”

When it comes to Black liberation, we have always been met with pushback. But we must never forget how powerful our celebrations of joy and freedom can be—on Juneteenth and every other day of the year. Here is a Juneteenth playlist from the @pushblack team, filled with songs that embody the spirit of liberation for us.

Repost: @wearepushblack There was nothing about Josephine Premice that could be put into a box--although the world tried. The two-time Tony-nominated actress performed in many all-Black casted productions like 1969's Black Electra and A Hand On The Gate, an evening of Black Poetry, defying society's expectations of a Black woman with every performance. A true renaissance woman, after decades performing across Broadway productions, Premice made her way into Black living rooms on shows like A Different World, The Jeffersons, and The Cosby Show. Josephine Premice is ancestral proof that even when the white of the world tries to obscure our shine, we never deflate but instead stand tall in our individuality and excel. 💫✊🏿 #PushBlack #TodayInBlackHistory #HappyBirthdayJosephinePremice https://www.instagram.com/p/CC7RLUBDNG7/?igshid=13cil6x1itw7k

Every year I wear black and study history on this day. I develop plans and think about ways to grow. I look for ways to create my own INDEPENDENCE DAY for me and my people. I’m not celebrating this devilish holiday that our ancestors were still in chains during. #no4thofjulyforme Posted @withregram • @wearepushblack On July 5th, 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of his most scathing indictments of America by calling out the hypocrisy of celebrating freedom while holding millions of Blacks in bondage. His impassioned words will move you.

America’s celebration of independence means very little to Black folks. In the words of Frederick Douglass, “What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.” Here’s why Juneteenth has become such an important holiday in our lives. ✊🏿 #PushBlack #BlackHistory #Juneteenth This why me and Texas has a love hate relationship!!!!
