Juneteenth has passed—but we’re not moving on. Because we still don’t have full freedom. And we damn sure don’t have true liberation.
This Believe Black People episode of You Ain’t Imagining This! was generously loaned by the Espresso Talk Today team—and we thank them deeply for this offering.
In this powerful audio celebration, you’ll hear: 📖 An original, fact-based Juneteenth story read by Marlene Slaughter 📜 A historical reflection from Elder Mel, reading a rare first-person account from her great-grandaunt Miss Rosina Hoard—who had been enslaved in Texas 💬 A deep, unflinching discussion about what Juneteenth means, how it’s been commercialized, and what still needs to change for Black folks in the U.S.
This is more than a commemoration. It’s cultural clarity. It’s remembrance. It’s resistance. And yes, it’s a celebration too—featuring the voice of Nina Simone singing “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free.”
🖤 Come as you are. Take what you need. And don’t let this day—or what it stands for—be forgotten.
