“When you hear me play that long intro, it’s me stalling. I was thinking, ‘What the hell am I going to sing?’ I think the word ‘freedom’ came out of my mouth because I saw it in front of me. I saw the freedom that we were looking for. And every person was sharing it, and so that word came out.”

"... this is the ballad of our freedom the day you realize we are more than free. We are loved."

Beautiful post for Juneteenth holiday. Thank you of this.
Thank you for the Juneteenth art and the father and son artists.
It's about fucking time this was made a holiday. Here in Canada we are finally understanding what has been done to the Indigenous people of this country and what that means for both Indigenous people and the country as a whole.
