Sharing #TunesOnTuesday on Monday this week in honor of the 175th Emancipation Day (July 3), celebrating the revolt that forced the end of slavery in the Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands). The tune for the day is "Be Free," the new single from The Lucky So & Sos that drops on July 7. https://ohljazz.com/2023/07/03/tunes-on-tuesday-be-free-emancipation-day/ #emancipationday #usvi #stcroix #songblog #jazzblog #musicblog #funkmusic #hiphop #befree #freedomsongs #newmusic #newrelease

De gevolgen van ons slavernijverleden zijn nog iedere dag voelbaar. Het verleden en de doorwerking onder ogen zien is nodig. Op #KetiKoti #DiaDiAbolishon #EmancipationDay herdenken we dat 150/160 jaar geleden de slavernij werd afgeschaft en start een betekenisvol Herdenkingsjaar.

On this #EmancipationDay (#Juneteenth) holiday, I am reminded of Humans, a 2015-2018 British TV series (a remake of one from Sweden) about #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI), and a morality play about chattel slavery, freedom, and equality.

It ran for only 3 short seasons, 24 1-hour episodes in all.

It was interesting, and worth watching.

Celebrate Freedom Day!

Black History Is American History Is Black History.

Vandaag herdenken en vieren we de formele afschaffing van slavernij in 1863. Echter werden tot slaaf gemaakten gedwongen tot zeker 1873 door te werken.

BIJ1 wenst iedereen een bijzondere dag van feest en bezinning toe. #1julivrij
