After a week layoff, Martha and I returned to the microphone to discuss our views about Juneteenth. We went out on the front porch to speak freely on the topic and to end the conversation with measurable goals. We asked ourselves many questions like: How do we get money to circulate within our communities? How do we commit ourselves to the elderly members in our communities? How do we move from devaluing ourselves to valuing what we are able to accomplish?

What are your thoughts? What goals are you and or your organization(s) willing to do to improve your community that you can report on during our next observance of Juneteenth?
