What does the 4th of July Celebration/Holiday Really mean when there are numerous miscarriages of justice throughout the nation? This shallow holiday continues to serve as a direct affront to all people who truly seek justice, freedom, and equality for everyone and not just those who are considered the “elites”. There are numerous blatant symbolic hypocrisies riddled throughout the fabric of American society. Most of them are so ingrained within the tapestry that if you were to mention them to the “average” US citizen they would react in a rather bellicose manner to your announcement. This Friday July 3rd, 2009 we will breakdown and dialogue some of the clear and present injustices that elucidate why America has a long way to go before it can truly be considered the beacon of "freedom" it wants the rest of the world to believe that it is. Join us for this open and important discussion that every sincere and justice seeking American must have.
