#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth—a pivotal moment in American history that celebrates freedom and liberation. Let's honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, while reflecting on our collective journey toward equality and justice. #Juneteenth#FreedomDay#Juneteenth2024
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth - the oldest nationally/internationally observed commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This date celebrates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. And Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative is on the front line of this work.
AWBI exists to make shared prosperity the Atlanta way by supporting the engagement, capacity, and leadership necessary to build Black wealth in Atlanta and across the South. Our research has found that the most popular definition of wealth for Black Atlantans is freedom. And so we are working to nurture a thriving environment that supports the development of policies and programs that promote the complete freedom of Black people to grow and maintain wealth.

#Juneteenth isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s a powerful echo of resilience reverberating through history. On this day in 1865, news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas, the farthest part of the Confederacy. Their joy marked the end of slavery in the United States.
While Juneteenth celebrates hard-won freedom, it’s also a reminder of the long road to true equality. The legacy of slavery continues to shape our society, and the fight for racial justice is far from over.
This Juneteenth, let’s honor the strength and perseverance of African Americans. Here are a few ways we can engage:
📚 Unearth the Past - Delve into the rich history of Juneteenth. Explore the stories of resilience, resistance, and the enduring spirit of Black communities.
💪🏼 Empower the Present - Support Black-owned businesses, celebrate Black art and culture, and amplify Black voices.
🔎 Embrace the Future - Educate ourselves and others about racial injustices. Advocate for policies that dismantle systemic barriers.
Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the progress made, but it’s also a call to action. Let’s commit to building a future where the promise of freedom rings true for all.
I’m editing this post, because of the number of people who still don’t understand why this is unacceptable and are defending this mess.
If this newspaper has other ads for Black History Month showcasing the achievements of Black residents, then please send those to me.
I want to see the ad for Women’s History Month and see if it contains pictures of ALL MEN. Let’s see if there is outrage about that.
At the bottom of this ad, in tiny letters it says “celebrating the achievements and accomplishments of Black Canadians…”.
Which ones exactly? Because the majority of this ad space is celebrating people OTHER than “Black Canadians”. Apparently, the faces and phone numbers are WAY MORE important than this because the font is 2X bigger.
Please raise your hand if you have ever needed a phone number in order to contact a politician about ANYTHING. The majority of folks don’t even vote, so I already know the answer to that.
Does paying for a BHM ad = being a decent person that treats Black people fairly?
If so, then why would they bother being against racism, when all they have to do is pay for one add in February? That’s way less work.
By that reasoning, all congress people who are against DEI and vote against civil rights have to do is take out a Black History Month ad in their local newspaper and that’s it!
Got it!
If the RESIDENTS (NOT US residents that know NOTHING about the racial climate there) of this city know why NONE of the Black politicians paid for ads celebrating Black History in THIS newspaper and ONLY these non-Black politicians did, please send that information to me.
In the year 2024 of my Lord, to assume that Black people have malicious intent involving situations you know nothing about, and that NON BLACK people are innocent angels, just wanting to celebrate Black History Month is incredibly naive and gullible.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. This annual holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved Africans and represents the day when news of their freedom reached the state of Texas, the last Confederate state to receive the news. Juneteenth is a critical event in American history as it is a moment of triumph for generations of Africans, past and present.
One of our core values at Lavinia Group and K12 Coalition is that “we advance equity in all we do.” Equity is a driving force behind all of our decisions. As we honor this Juneteenth holiday, we aim to amplify Black voices, listen to and learn from people of color, and remain ever vigilant of the work that lies ahead.
Let’s take time today to honor the profound struggle for freedom and the ongoing fight for justice that Juneteenth represents. We celebrate the resilience and achievements of African Americans and commit to fostering a future where these values are realized by all.
Join us in embracing the lessons of Juneteenth, not just today but every day, as we work together to create a more inclusive and equitable world.
This February, let's unite in honoring the profound impact of African Americans on our nation's fabric. Beyond remembrance, Black History Month is a celebration of resilience, innovation, and an unyielding spirit that defines our shared history.
This year's theme, "African Americans and the Arts," shines a light on their impactful contributions to visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. Today, we pay homage not only to the pioneers in the arts but also to those who moved the civil rights movement forward through their artistic expressions. Over the course of the month, we will be sharing content that revolves around this year's theme, focusing specifically on the contributions and achievements of Black artists.
Let's celebrate the vibrant creativity that has not only enriched our culture but played a pivotal role in advancing civil rights. Reflect on the strides made, acknowledge the work still ahead, and together, let's shape a future that embraces diversity and equality.

Black History Month UK is a momentous occasion to recognise, honour and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black people and others to British society. It's a reminder that black history is not just a part of the past—it's an integral and ongoing part of our nation's story.
We are soldiers and seafarers who fought in many wars. Answered the call to work in the hospitals and on transport and railway networks to rebuild this land. We’re students, professionals, politicians, businesspeople and athletes. Our contribution to this union has undoubtedly shaped British culture and the diverse society we are today.
As we embark on this journey of reflection and celebration and not for just one month, but for every month, let us remember that black history is not a separate entity from British history. It is an integral part of it, woven into the fabric of our nation. It is a story of resilience, courage, and unshakable determination in the face of adversity. It is a history of individuals who have not only overcome obstacles but have soared to great heights, leaving an indelible mark on our society.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history.
Most individuals are aware of the festivities and history surrounding Independence Day. However, when the United States was free in 1776, enslaved Black people were not.
In reality, it took another 87 years for Black people to be recognized as free. Even yet, it took another two years for freedom, after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for the final enslaved individuals to be released in Galveston, Texas.
First flown in 2000, the Juneteenth flag symbolizes freedom over slavery.
As the longest-running African American holiday, Juneteenth is an important holiday where communities come together to acknowledge the injustices that Black Americans endured but also to celebrate their rich cultures and accomplishments since then.
It is a celebration of the journey and independence of Black people in the United States, as well as an excellent occasion to recognize the many contributions that Black people have made to American culture.
