On #Juneteenth, we'd like to share isabelwilkerson's closing words from her Ten Evenings lecture on May 9, 2022. ⠀ ⠀ "This is the country's karmic moment of truth. ⠀ ⠀ Will it follow the path of darkness and division, of hate and hierarchy, that have riven it for centuries? Or will it rise to what Dr. King called 'the height of the majestic' and live up to its creed, become and defend true democracy, with liberty and justice for every single one of us? ⠀ ⠀ What we have seen has made it wrenchingly clear that Dr. King's mission has not been completed. ⠀ ⠀ It will be up to all of us, but particularly the prime beneficiaries of our country's 400-year-old social order, to make it so. Not only for our communities, our children, our country, but for the species and for the planet itself." ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #IsabelWilkerson
