Race & Rosé Special Delivery: Juneteenth
Manage episode 295995572 series 2872790
On this special delivery episode of Race & Rosé (this is another in-between-seasons special delivery ya'll), we discuss Juneteenth - the day that the last enslaved persons were formally freed in Galveston, Texas on June 19th, 1865. We cover the history behind the holiday and a bit on how it's related to Critical Race Studies (more to come on this in our next episode). We also delve into the fact that Juneteenth just became a federal holiday - the first new federal holiday since MLK Day in 1983 - and what this means (and does not mean) for our country. Cheers!
