Juneteenth represents the Official Kick-Off of the 2022 Voter Education, Mobilization, Empowerment Initiative for Harris County
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
In case you don’t know, African Americans have celebrated some great achievements since, June 19, 1865, the day Union soldiers arrived in Galveston to bring news of freedom to the last 250,000 enslaved Black people in Texas. That said, I’m not proud of the fact that it took two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, for the word that my ancestors were free to make it to the plantations here in Texas. But nonetheless, I’m honored to declare that I’m a “FREE MAN” living my dream right now.
FREEDOM AIN’T FREE
In my opinion, too many of my people (Black folks), are still living on “MENTAL PLANTATIONS” right now Texas. And when it comes to Harris County, there’s a lot of work that’s still left to do as we press forward towards Tuesday, November 8, 2022, and beyond. That said, in my professional opinion, if we don’t break the “MENTAL CHAINS” that people are using to try and hold us, hostage, we’re going to lose the “POLITICAL STRENGTH” that our forefathers fought, bled, and died for us to enjoy.
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE
It’s important for my people (Black folks), to understand that voting is a personal decision. And nobody has ownership over our “GOD-GIVEN” right to pursue our own individual destiny as “GOD-ALMIGHTY” gives us strength. Nobody has the right to try and “SHAME US” into supporting their candidacies. Nobody has the right to tell us that we’re not Black if we don’t cast our vote for them. I’ll bet our ancestors were turning over in their graves back during the 2022 Presidential Election when they heard Joe Biden say that black voters who were torn between voting for him, or President Trump “ain’t black,” remarks that he was forced to apologize for – but I digress.
CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH
As part of our “2022 VOTER EDUCATION, MOBILIZATION, AND EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE” that’s aimed at “PUTTING PEOPLE OVER POLITICS” in Harris County I would like to wish a few of our local leaders a “HAPPY JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY” as we kick off our push toward Tuesday, November 8, 2022, Midterm Election, in the Lone Star State.
