@nycmayor: On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice. At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy. Our documentary explores Dr. Pace's life, his work, and his decades-long commitment to the ongoing fight for liberation. This Juneteenth, let us not forget that pursuit of freedom is not buried in the past. It is the responsibility of our future.
Thank you for placing a light on our history instead of trying to dim it

Hello hello :
I really wish someone in America a black American would PLEASE go interview all the current survivors. And memorialise their stories. So important their stories are told. Especially on video.

I love how Mamdani doesn’t just make a simple post with nice platitudes on these holidays, but interviews real people and shows how these observances are important and should be honored

One of my professors worked on the African Burial Ground project! He still does a unit on it and the new finds that continue to be discovered decades later

This is what a mayor should stand for, for his people, his City, and his country.
Not only Talk, but also achieve.

This is why art is *so* important, as Dr. Pace said. The modern northern US, including NYC, like to forget that there was a time when we were on the wrong side of history. But it wasn't that far removed from now, and it's vital we remember how the past influences and effects the present and future.
