I have celebrated Juneteenth in the past but this episode is the first time when I deeply explored its history and why it’s important for all of us to know about Juneteenth. I researched and found a video by Rev. Al Sharpton that I shared in this episode. I also read an article written by Vivian Philips.
During this episode I learned about Juneteenth and the plight of Black people in America and beyond, but what I am gathering is that the history of Black people or African people globally is tied together and this means that the future is also tied together. This means that unity is part of the solution for Black people’s plight globally.
