Good Afternoon, It’s a great honor to attend this Fourth of July celebration in which you have allowed me to speak to the community on this beautiful day. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to reflect on the reason we celebrate Independence Day. This day is one of America’s holidays that is celebrated every year in the United States as a Federal holiday.
I would like to give you a little history about the Fourth of July; This day was told to be the day that America commemorated the birth of the United States of America as an Independent nation. July 4, 1776, was not the day Continental Congress decided to declare it’s independence, it was July 2, 1776. We celebrate this date because that’s the time Continental Congress approved as the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. They submitted the draft July 2, 1776; July 4, 1776, was the year included in the Declaration of Independence, and August was when the copy was signed. We celebrate July 4th with fireworks, families, concerts, picnics, parades, barbecues and baseball games. Independence Day also represents security, discrimination, wealth, poverty, fear, happiness, democracy, opportunity, and fame. We should celebrate this day with peace because this day was actually due to war. Our ancestors fought and died for this day. We should celebrate their lives every day, but we should also celebrate our life every day. This country was build for us to be free, so we the people have the right to dream about whatever our desires are, to imagine the unattainable goal or aspiration. We all dream of what successes we might have, but we shall take that idea to the next level by bringing our vision to pass. Freedom of speech is part of independence; It gives us the right to communicate our opinions and ideas. Parents should take a significant proportion working in the community to be the voice for our children; families should work together, share their money and homes, they should support each other, and they should take care of one another. This country is based upon family and families build communities. A bad economy, which is the new norm, has an adverse impact on our communities; we have broken families, fewer jobs, broken homes, drugs in the communities, mother’s and father are going to prison, women are having babies without the father’s in the home nor their support. UnEmpoyment …show more content…
The economy is affected by unemployment; if we bring jobs back into our community we can help rebuild our communities.
The black community spends more money than most social-economic communities. We leave our neighborhoods to spend money in other communities; we need to rethink what we would like our community to represent.
We have many challenges that we deal with on a daily basis. I believe education is one of those challenges. Education shall be critical to us. Education is the process of learning and acquisition of knowledge, skills, and values. The community must work together to bring schools back to our neighborhoods. If we want to give our children every opportunity in this country, then we must work harder toward getting a high-quality education for them.
We must attend all meeting regarding our kids whether it’s in the schools, or outside of the schools, we are their voices. We need to fight for them so they would be able to have higher-quality education, good teachers, adequate resources and diverse
