   I remember a few years ago trying to get my teacher's union to sponsor a table   
   at our town's intimate annual Juneteenth Celebration, historically held in our   
   Beloved Community, and featuring the best food and music in town. The   
   neighborliness was an    
   example for all. It would be great community outreach event and help us gather   
   an agenda for our coming school year as we continued our organizing. Without   
   recognition, publicity, or draw,  it was hard to get people who didn't share   
   the same identity to    
   participate, let alone pony up the dough. Hardly anyone knew what it was.   
      
   Now, years after the MPD murdered George Floyd, we're all about that. Time   
   come, for sure, but with corporate sponsors? And I suppose geezers like me   
   ought to step aside and let last year's naysayers rewrite history and claim   
   its voice. Make a little    
   bank too, na'mean? I guess that's what we've been taught to regard as   
   progress. One step forward, two steps back, and three steps to either side,   
   the choice, at our discretion, demonstrating what we call "Freedom."
