June 19 1865 commemorates the day the last enslaved people were notified by union troops in Galveston Texas that they had been emancipated 2.5 years earlier. In this podcast, that was recorded June 22, 2021, we talk about the historical significance of this day, key figures that fought to make Juneteenth a federal holiday and ponder on questions like: Is it gaslighting making Juneteenth a federal holiday? What does the celebration of Juneteenth mean to you? How should white people engage in this holiday? How do you want vs expect Juneteenth being a federal holiday to help to shift and/or transform culture? What does it do for the movement? We hope you enjoy the episode and feel free to join our community and engage in future discussions about race, equity, and justice! Also we will be posting Saige and Adriana's speeches from the Town of Windsor Juneteenth Celebration of Freedom Event.
