In some aspects it's like Christmas. Phone calls. A certain lightness, giddiness if you like. I smile at people I meet. I get emotional when I think of the people who have gone on before. You wouldn't be able to tell my father a damn thing today.
Not a damn thing.
I miss him.
I keep hearing strains of George Clinton's Chocolate City (gotta find that damn CD):
"You don't need the bullet when you've got the ballot."
"You jive and game and you ain't been tamed. But you're my piece of the rock, and I dig you CC."
"God bless Chocolate City and it's Vanilla Suburbs."
I know it's presumptuous, but I imagine that the closest thing that approximates it is what my ancestors must have felt on Juneteenth. Please allow me a little hyperbole just for today.
Cliched as it sounds, I never thought I'd live to see this.
