  • Nerissa Knight stepped onto a family land and heritage property in Texas that has been owned for over 150 years. Linda Berry Mallory, daughter of the late Merdine Berry, spoke with BNC about the family’s annual tradition of celebrating Juneteenth. “My mother would hold a Juneteenth celebration and it was free to all,” Berry said. The 100-acre land was temporarily lost by her mother before the case was brought to the U.S Supreme Court to be fought to regain ownership. Berry’s great-great-grandparents who originally owned this land were free slaves. The annual event is a reminder of how slaves were cheated out of freedom.
    The family looks forward to the annual event and will continue to shed light on the heritage of the land.

    My mother's parents lost 2/3 of their farm during the depression when the bank sold the mortgage on the farm to some new york sharpies for pennies on the dollar.

    That is amazing. She is right, “fight for what is yours”. The power of property and whoever that person is who is trying to take their land needs Jesus.

    I hope they have no more battles after this. The nerve of that man to say he's been using the land and now feels it belongs to him. That should have been settled by the Supreme Court decision. Yet he wants to fight them for their land. Man....words can't describe how this makes me feel. The history of talking what you want, when you want.

    Deuteronomy 10:17
    “For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:”
    This is what is ours. Stop celebrating pagan holidays. Get back to the Holy days of leviticus 23. Take back and claim your God by keeping his laws and commandments. Heaven awaits those of his people who do. The lake of fire is the alternative. He is not good all the time. Repent while you can.
