This Black History Month, we are proud to be in community with groups like BLOC, an organization having face-to-face conversations on the ground, transforming Milwaukee's Black community one door knock at a time. They are invested in building long-term political power, reimagining what public safety looks like, empowering leaders with tools to evoke change, and ending mass incarceration and the over-policing of Black communities, two of the remaining vestiges of American chattel slavery. https://lnkd.in/ehKeqxF

To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this Black History Month all the more critical. 👊🏿

Happy Juneteenth! Today, we commemorate a pivotal moment in American history—the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom. This day represents not only the end of a dark chapter but also the beginning of a new journey toward equality. Juneteenth is more than just a historical milestone; it's a call to action. It's a day to acknowledge the injustices of the past, celebrate the contributions and culture of the Black community, and commit to creating a more just and inclusive future. At King Soopers, we are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion within our workplace and beyond. Today, we celebrate the progress we've made and recognize the work that still needs to be done. Let’s use this day to educate ourselves, support Black-owned businesses, and advocate for policies that promote equality. Together, we can make a difference. #Juneteenth2024 #EquityAndInclusion #CelebrateDiversity
