Black people have been celebrating this holiday for more than a century. Barbecues, speeches, music, community, and sweet potato pies are the hallmarks of Juneteenth celebrations. This important holiday has gone virtually unnoticed and ignored by white Americans. In 2021, President Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth into a federal holiday. Will white people appropriate this holiday? Will Juneteenth lose its importance and relevance? Will America recognize its unfulfilled promises to Black Americans? In this Real Talk, Elder Mel, Ben, and Ama-Robin discuss how they celebrate Juneteenth and how voting rights, police reform, and reparations are the next logical steps toward real emancipation and equality. Join us for this uncommon. conversation!
Bonus: Melinda Doolittle will sing the Black National Anthem, "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" at the end of the show. Please join us and stand for our anthem.
