Boss made a dollar

I made a dime,

That was a poem

From a simpler time.

Now boss makes a thousand

And gives us a cent

While he’s got employees 

Who can’t pay the rent.

So when boss makes a million

And the workers make jack

Then that’s when we riot

And take our lives back.

Juneteenth is a day of Black American joy and celebration. It honors the emancipation from slavery in the United States. 

We want to see what makes you joyful, Black Tumblr. With very many of us processing grief, loss, and trauma, making space for joy is vital. Especially as we continue social distancing measures into the summer.

This Friday, June 19th, use the tag #JuneteenthJoy along with #Blackout and #BlackoutDay to share your smiles, your strength, and your art and music. Anything that makes you happy. 

We are also committing to donating $19 dollars to 19 organizations and bail funds and challenging our allies to do the same. Stay tuned for our Juneteenth list on Friday. 

Don’t forget to use #JuneteenthJoy on Friday!
