AJ's Special Session: A Different Look at the Origins of Juneteenth

For many non-Black folks, Juneteenth seemed to burst into the national consciousness over the last few years but for many Black folks, Juneteenth has been known as a day of celebration for generations. For this Special Session, join AJ in looking at some of the historical factors that led to the events of June 19th, 1865 in Galveston, Texas. We will look at the players working to prevent the freedom of millions of enslaved folks, examples of Black folks being active participants in their own liberation, the importance of the declaration made on June 19th, and how information has been weaponized to keep folks enslaved well into the 20th century.
