African Americans Celebrating Juneteenth

"AFRICAN AMERICANS CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH" Juneteenth, Juneteenth, Juneteenth What does it really mean? Slavery ending news, delivered two years late 155 years to date, black people still have to wait African American celebration of freed slaves Home of the free and land of the brave We've suffered such brutality Equal rights, still not a reality From whence we came, some improvement That has produced the least movement The country's problem, is our color Constantly being labeled the other A perceived freedom, what have we learned Still being denied, what we've rightfully earned Ending slavery, an alleged act of liberation Is it really a celebration? They love our culture, but they don't love us This optional choice, has stymied our trust Over time, as a race, we've made some gains But our mental psychic, is a lasting source of pain For the pittance and crumbs left on the backdoor step We should've been grateful and appreciative, before we wept Reminiscing on the storied history Unlocking the chains of a hidden mystery Juneteenth, Juneteenth, Juneteenth What does it really mean?
