HAPPY EMANCIPATION Day, Washington DC! *** And by VIRTUE of the POWER, and for the PURPOSE of the aforesaid, I DO ORDER and DECLARE that ALL PERSONS held as SLAVES within the said designated States, and parts of States, are , and henceforward shall BE FREE; and that the EXECUTIVE government of the UNITED States, including the military and naval AUTHORITIES therefore, will RECOGNIZE and MAINTAIN the FREEDOM of said PERSONS. - Abraham Lincoln, EMANCIPATION Proclamation January 1, 1863 ***Emphasis mine *** It's the dawn of the BRAND NEW Day, April 15, 2016 on a Friday FUN Day/ Flashback/ Flashforward Friday. TAXPAYERS in the USA are WAKING UP HAPPY that the DEADLINE to PAY TAXES was MOVED to Monday because of this Holiday in Washington, District of Columbia. *** Before you BEGIN your LONG weekend Celebrations, I have to inform my Global Audience what this is ALL ABOUT. SLAVERY is NOT UNIQUE to the USA and if you Flashback to the HISTORY LESSONS you've LEARNED and HOPEFULLY APPLIED, SLAVERY is WORLD HISTORY. But then HISTORY MEANS the PAST but are you AWARE that Slavery in MANY FORMS are still GOING ON today NOT just all over the World but even in the USA? The MODERN SLAVERY in the form of HUMAN Trafficking, CHILD LABOR and all sorts of HUMAN INDIGNITY NOBODY wants to talk about on a Friday FUN Day.I beg to differ. Although my extended family has NO PERSONAL HISTORY of SLAVERY, it's something I have been AWARE of since I was 6 years old from my extended family and friends and other Circle of Influence employing MAIDS and HIRED HELP locally, nationally and globally. That there is DIGNITY in LABOR. And that ALL PERSONS and other LIVING BEINGS including ANIMALS BE TREATED HUMANELY. Your KIND of FUN may not be FUN for OTHERS. Be MINDFUL not to REPEAT the MISTAKES of the PAST in your PRESENT and Flashforward to YOUR FUTURE by RECOGNIZING and MAINTAINING your FREEDOM. *** What about you, what makes you Flashforward as you Flashback? How is your HAVING FUN not just on Fridays IMPACTING your PERSONAL FREEDOMS and/or OTHERS? *** #fridayfunday #flashbackfriday #flashforwardfriday #happyemancipationday2016 #historyrepeatsitself #modern #monolith #power #symbol by j8belt
