Embracing Life’s Train
By Neus Bonet i Sala
Creamos a través de la nada
de pensamientos, emociones,
vivencias y ficciones.
Somos una gota en la nada
donde el Ego se impone
la mayoría de las veces.
Pero si eres observador
de la vida desde el exterior,
el camino de tu propio destino
se iluminará indefinidamente.

The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth
On “Freedom’s Eve,” or the eve of January 1, 1863, the first Watch Night services took place. On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States.
But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as “Juneteenth,” by the newly freed people in Texas.
The post-emancipation period known as Reconstruction (1865-1877) marked an era of great hope, uncertainty, and struggle for the nation as a whole. Formerly enslaved people immediately sought to reunify families, establish schools, run for political office, push radical legislation and even sue slaveholders for compensation. Given the 200+ years of enslavement, such changes were nothing short of amazing. Not even a generation out of slavery, African Americans were inspired and empowered to transform their lives and their country.
Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day. Although it has long celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event remains largely unknown to most Americans.

Despite those conservative attacks, most Americans approve of companies taking steps to address the historic inequalities in their ranks, according to a poll from The Washington Post and Ipsos. Roughly 6 in 10 Americans said that diversity, equity and inclusion programs are “a good thing” — and support was even higher for specific programs such as internships for underrepresented groups and anti-bias trainings. The level of support differed among racial groups, and one effort was universally unpopular: financial incentives for managers who achieve diversity goals.

Nairobi.- La guerra en Gaza está provocando una crisis medioambiental “sin precedentes” por la contaminación del suelo, el agua y el aire y los “daños irreversibles” en los ecosistemas naturales, advirtió el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA).

“La población de Gaza no solo está lidiando con un sufrimiento incalculable por la guerra en curso, sino que los importantes y crecientes daños ambientales en Gaza podrían encerrar a su gente en una recuperación larga y dolorosa”, afirmó en un comunicado Inger Andersen, directora ejecutiva del PNUMA, con sede en Nairobi.
“Todo esto perjudica a la salud de la población, la salud alimentaria y la capacidad de recuperación de Gaza”, añadió Andersen, cuya agencia publicó un informe preliminar como respuesta a una petición formulada por las autoridades palestinas el pasado diciembre.
