Celebrating Juneteenth

Looking to learn more about Juneteenth, I came across this article by Diego Wyatt in Good Housekeeping. I loved this quote:

While Juneteenth is a celebration of Black freedom, the holiday isn't just for the Black community, explains historian and Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Barbara Krauthamer, Ph.D.

“Juneteenth gives people an opportunity to reflect on what it means to live in a country and in communities that say we value individual rights, we value freedom, we value freedom of the press and freedom of speech,” says Dr. Krauthamer. “And if we value that, we need to value that for everybody.”

Happy National Independence Day to All!
