Next Phase offices are closed today in observation of Juneteenth. On this day in 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas to deliver an important message to 250,000 enslaved Black people that the Union won the Civil War two months prior and thus could enforce the end of slavery. While this day marks the end of slavery for the Black community in the United States, there is still work to be done to live in a just and equal society. As an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, Next Phase is committed to promoting best practices and doing work in and outside our company to foster diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

Black History Month: Mrs. Ruby Flynn a 2nd District Trailblazer. Mrs. Flynn was the first black female mail carrier in October of 1963. Mrs. Ruby and My Grandmother were best friends and as a young child, I hung around to hear their stories of perseverance. Mrs. Flynn also had one of the most beautiful gardens, and apple and pear trees in the city, I would help my grandmother pick collard greens and strawberries at her home on the weekends. During “Peacetime’ in Lexington, KY after Mrs. Ruby’s historic onboarding at the US Postal Service black residents of Lexington started to apply to be postal carriers once that door was opened for Mrs. Ruby. To be a US Post Office worker, applicants had to take a written test. There were 55 applicants, 5 were white males and 50 were black males. They all arrived to take the test that was administered by a white female superintendent. On the first day of training, only the 5 white males showed up for their first day. One of the white males looked around wondering where the rest of the black males were… many years later it was found out that the superintendent, threw away their ungraded tests and made them ineligible. Fast forward to 2022, 5 Human Resources employees were hired at a state agency. Four white females and 1 black female. The 1 black female was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to get the job and the others were not. Little has changed toward this Indifference. As we move forward... Together We Can Start Making Legacy Decisions in Business To Be a Story We Can Celebrate and Take Pride in Building Strong Communities...Because Laws Cannot Change Actions That Are Truly Matters of the Heart.

The markets are closed today in honor of Juneteenth. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

The information provided by the DOJ is incredibly insightful. The governments perspective of Black people is blatant, audacious, and utterly egregious. God's people are not commodities of the state or the government's domestic service animals. Black people are enslaved to create government jobs. Children are stolen for lineage incorporation, depriving a people of their lives and obligating the lives of their children generation after generation. Reproduction, family, life, liberty, and property are controlled. The US department of JUSTICE believes the main goals of the BLACK LIBERATION ARMY is to kill police and financial EXTORTION. Why is it not that the purpose of the group is to liberate and uplift black people? People that are treated as less than animals in the land of the free? The US doesn't hold the same perspective of the People's Liberation Army of China. May God be with the governing powers of the world. To have power is to have the authority and ability to act. https://lnkd.in/gM3BTndW

Did you know Trump did more in 4 years than any President ever did.©by +Dr. Jonathan+ See video below. He wasn't an attorney saying why it couldn't be done. He's a business owner who knows how to negotiate a great deal. Most U.S. leaders disrespect or ignore our Declaration. 56 Founders pledged "their lives, fortunes & Sacred Honor." Paul Harvey did a tribute to half of them who were killed or lost their families &/or fortunes for taking sacred stands against tyranny.© How many political leaders today would do likewise? Very few! This is America's #1 problem. Instead of standing for Sacred Honor they lust for power, wealth & total control of Americans. Leaders today live in a narcissistic world of megalomania seeking power & wealth for "me, myself & I." No longer are they public servants but demigods.© There's no 4th branch of gov't in our U.S. Constitution, yet bureaucrats rule us without accountability. If this insanity continues, we will perish as a fair & just Republic very soon. It may already be too late.© It's NOT "a curious track record" that socialists have. JFK was historically our last true demoncrat so let's stop calling socialists what they are NOT. Since Bill Clinton's Presidency, they are clearly socialists. Sad but true.© To organize a nation, church, hospital, corporation, etc. two key documents are needed: 1. A legal charter; & 2.Bylaws.'A supercedes B' so let's honor & protect Life, Liberty & private property. It's the least we can do!
