On that hallowed ground I spoke about a brave American soldier who fought tyranny for the hope of freedom and democracy." "One of those soldiers of a Red Ball Express who fought fought for freedom on a distant shores, was a civil rights lawyer who fought for freedom here at home. 61 years ago this week, he was gunned down at home in Mississippi in the poison of white supremacy. But all these years later, his spirit endures. You all know his name was Medgar Evers. Last month, I awarded Medgar Evers, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation's highest civilian honor posthumously. Because life reminds us reminds us of our chains. We have to keep redeeming the soul of America. Folks, that's what Juneteenth is all about. That's why I awarded the Medal of Freedom to miss Opal Lee as well, the grandmother of Juneteenth."

It commemorates the day in 1865 - after the Confederate states surrendered at end the Civil War - when a Union general arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform a group of enslaved African Americans of their freedom under President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. Long a regional holiday in the U.S. South, Juneteenth rose in prominence across the country following 2020 protests over the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and other Black Americans.

STORY: :: This Mexican designer is turning political flyers into bags in a bid for sustainability :: Mexico City, Mexico :: June 6, 2024 :: Camilo Morales, Fashion Designer "We should demand them (politicians) to stop this material because it's very difficult to recycle and biodegrade.

So the parties don’t do it as it’s not in their interest.” Morales said he started to collect banners to clear the streets from electoral advertising in an exceptionally long electoral process in Mexico. From his studio in Mexico City, he up-cycles second-hand garments for his brand RERE MX.

Morales's bags are his way to demand politicians stop using non-degradable plastic materials in their campaigns.
