> This Saturday, June 19th, the City of North Miami Beach is hosting it's 1st Annual Juneteenth event.
> 
> This event commemorates the day the last enslaved African Americans, in the United States, were told of their freedom, June 19th, 1865. Over 2 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. This date is important, because as poet Emma Lazarus said, "None of us are free, until all of us are free."

> I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
> When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
> When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
> And the river flows like a stream of glass;
> When the first bird sings and the first bud opens,
> And the faint perfume from its chalice steals--
> I know what the caged bird feels!
> 
>  
> 
> I know why the caged bird beats his wing
> Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
> 
>  
> 
> For he must fly back to his perch and cling
> When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
> And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
> And they pulse again with a keener sting--
> I know why he beats his wing!
> 
> I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
> When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--
> When he beats his bars and he would be free;
> It is not a carol of joy or glee,
> But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
> But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings--
> I know why the caged bird sings!
