A Celebration of Freedoms

In the United States, gay marriage is an everlasting argument. Many states face this problem everyday in Parliament and will eventually face this problem in court. As for the freedom of the citizens and the rights of all people, there is a question "Do you want to expand the traditional marriage law to increase the number of trade unions of gays?" There was a crack. Some people are trying to stick to old values ​​and standards of living, but others are waiting to be allowed to celebrate their lives with their loved ones.

On July 4, 1852, America celebrated freedom as Independence Day. Frederick Douglas, the most famous anti-slavery activist in the United States and the escaped slave, has no reason to celebrate. Here, the 200th anniversary of Douglas birth, the Frederick Douglas Family Project, the Racial Discrimination Research and Policy Center at the American University are celebrating the 200 Americans who best reflects his legacy. On the 166th anniversary of Douglas' speech, we announced the top ten members of "FD 200" today.

As an adult, I am more contradictory. When America first celebrated freedom, I know that my ancestors were bound. I know that I feel free at the 240th American Freedom Festival. A black man exercising freedom is immediately regarded as a threat. In laughing loudly, scarfing music, wearing toy guns as a child, hit strangers' doors in a crisis situation, under a stressful condition, with a vacuum cleaner in hand It can not be inserted. I will never be free to completely relax - I know that my "freedom" is always in danger

I think love is easy, that marriage is difficult. "Free" culture, political and business celebrations make it more difficult. Sooner or later, you must face the fact that freedom is about making the right choice, not an infinite choice. Life is the process of finding the right choice. No, this is my love for wild birds. I am glad to see they have survived, they are endlessly beautiful and funny. I do not know if birds are my choice of choice - they feel like I chose me - but after doing this choice I always have something to look forward to fighting and fighting.
