On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Abraham Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas with news of freedom. More than 250,000 African Americans embraced freedom by executive decree in what became known as Juneteenth or Freedom Day. With the principles of self-determination, citizenship, and democracy magnifying their hopes and dreams, those Texans held fast to the promise of true liberty for all.

On Juneteenth, may we celebrate the essence of freedom that galvanized the country, the progress we have made in our Nation, and all that is possible when we march forward together.

A few years ago, I was lucky enough to receive a parent-writer fellowship to attend the Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing summer conference. Now, I'm lucky enough to serve as a judge to help other parent-writers attend this fabulous program. The faculty is outstanding, the location is unparalleled in its beauty, and the other writers are as kind and generous as they are devoted to their craft. I hope you apply to attend MVICW (whether you're a parent or not).
