Why Emancipation, Parenting, and Education All Matter on Day 16/67

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

   First of all, no one can be free in any way without legal freedom, from the first Compensated Emancipation in DC,  which had long been celebrated as Emancipation Day on April 16th, with a parade, EmanDayDC even, through the early 1900s or so, in The District, to the final end of that process, for areas in rebellion to the Union, on Juneteenth in Texas, although most border states like Maryland, which had remained part of the Union, had also emancipated slaves, except for Delaware and Kentucky.  Slaves in those states had to wait until ratification of the 13th Amendment.

      Then, no one can be entirely free of self-doubts without a loving, respectful, and supportive father.
    Finally, no one can be wholly free to expand and thrive without education of various types.

♫ Ain’t No Mountain High Enough ♫ (Redux) — Filosofa’s Word

Since today is Juneteenth,  I thought it only appropriate to play some Motown — in my book some of the best music produced in the U.S.!  Of course, since I feature Motown songs and artists pretty often in these posts, I’ve already played most of my favourites at one point or another … some of […]

Understanding Juneteenth (Reprise) — Filosofa’s Word

This is the post I posted on Juneteenth in 2020, but since I couldn’t say it any better today than I did then (actually, Jamelle Bouie did most of the work on this) then I thought it apropos to run it again. Today is Juneteenth, and I would like to start with a few words […]

Pablo Neruda

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Andando pelas areias decidi te deixar.

Pisava um barro escuro

que tremia,

me atolando e saindo

decidi que saíras

de mim, que me pesavas

como pedra cortante,

preparei tua perda

passo a passo:

cortar tuas raízes,

soltar-te só no vento.

Ai, nesse minuto,

coração meu, um sonho

com asas terríveis

te cobria.

Te sentias tragada pelo barro,

e me chamavas, mas não te acudia,

tu ias imóvel,

sem te defender

até que te afogavas na boca da areia.

Depois

minha decisão encontrou teu sonho,

de dentro da rotura

que partia nossa alma,

surgimos limpos outra vez, desnudos,

nos amando,

sem sonho, sem areia, completos e radiantes,

selados pelo fogo

Pablo Neruda. O Sonho
