Nolan represents all the young African American men who have died too young. The young African American man, Nolan Wells was at a party with some white friends. He turned up dead under suspicious circumstances. Hate is taught and cultivated like fine wine. Surely, God will send karmic results to the purveyors of this.
Every piece in this collection is a love letter to Black history, culture, and joy — the past we honor, the present we live, and the future we’re building.
If we tell our own stories, no one can steal our history, our confidence, or our self-worth.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining “June” and “nineteenth”, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas. Originating in Galveston, Juneteenth has since been observed annually in various parts of the United States, often broadly celebrating African-American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law after the efforts of Lula Briggs Galloway, Opal Lee, and others.

Africans enslaved in the Americas have been resilient for hundreds of years. One of the ways is that they would pass on encouragement. They would encourage each other to do better. If you want to find freedom, follow the drinking gourd. During Juneteenth, celebrate that we know how to fight. We know how to win.
