BET's Freedom Day Manifesto
Juneteenth is our day of celebration.
No matter the zip code,
No matter who we love or how we show up.
No matter our age, gender, faith...
We are one.
Today, we celebrate the collective liberation of Black People.
Our spirit has always been free,
Our perseverance remains unmatched.
Black is beautiful.
Black is brilliant.
Black is bold.
We will exercise our power.
We will dream bigger.
We honor ourselves every day...
On this Juneteenth, we show each other extra love
And celebrate the freedom, that is our birthright.
Happy Juneteenth!
From our family to yours.
We celebrate Juneteenth. This year and always.
