Harper's BAZAARさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Harper's BAZAARInstagram)「Over two centuries ago, the Continental Congress declared that the thirteen colonies were no longer subject to the British empire, marking what would become the United States of America’s Independence Day. Yet, while the Declaration of Independence claimed that “all men are created equal,” the country was conceived on the backs of slave labor and Native American genocide while white, male landowners shaped a system exclusively in their favor. Now, 244 years to this day, the U.S. is again seeing another revolutionary moment. An ongoing pandemic, historic unemployment rates, and daily uprisings against a racially unjust and anti-Black status quo make this year’s July 4th an incredibly potent time to explore all the work that is still to be done. If history has taught us anything, it is to rise up, seize the moment, and shape a new world that truly includes the needs and humanity of everybody. Head to our “BLM” stories highlight to see how you might be able to take action today and show your support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement. ⁣ ⁣ This photo originally appears in the September 1939 issue of Harper’s BAZAAR.」7月4日 23時39分
