Hello and welcome to TYT's June Teeth Special. And we got some important things to discuss

around 2023 and the history of June Teeth. The first half of this evening's coverage

we're joined by Mayor Mondale Robinson, who is a rebel HQ contributor and the mayor of

Infield, North Carolina. And we have journalists extraordinaire, the one and only Sharon Reed. And

Sharon Reed will be with us the entire hour. So the first half an hour you got the mayor,

and myself and Sharon. And the second half an hour you got JR Jackson, Sharon Reed, and

Adrian Lawrence. So don't you go anywhere. Now, June Teeth, it definitely comes at a

troubling time. But it certainly is a historic occasion. It really is about the mass patient

proclamation of 1863. And then in 1865 in Galveston, Texas, it took like two and a half years for the

enslaved black people of Galveston, Texas to realize that the mass patient proclamation has set

them free. Now as a historian, I got a month give you a whole bunch of background about that. But

that's basically the gist of it. I mean, don't get me started about the border states where people were

enslaved stealing those border states, states like Maryland, etc., etc., West Virginia, where they were

still enslaved. The mass patient proclamation did not set them free, but I digress. It was just a

historic enemy. But let's take a look at some of the things that have been happening to the black

community and modern times. That is not accidental. This is what happens when you lose democracy.

This is what we are fighting against and must stand up against as legislators and as people and

as citizens across this country because it's starting in Tennessee, but it won't end here.

So we are advising our members and others that if you go be cautious of how you operate in the state,

that if you have another choice to hold your convention, consider a place outside of Florida.

I know funny fact is black people did not get to enjoy the other freedoms until their second

amendment rights were secured. And I think that that's one of the lessons that we learned.
