This Sunday we're joined by Juneteenth Jamal Basill Bradley. Organizer and founder of SC's Juneteenth Joyfest. One of the largest Juneteenth events in the US. In this two episode set (This week and next) we'll be joined by organizers of National Juneteenth events and a member of the California Reparations Task Force. Two topics that would normally indicate a post slavery society. And yet, both of these organizers are slavery abolitionists. We believe their unique perspectives will help others gain understanding of the issue surrounding modern legal slavery in a nation hell bent on pushing a false narrative of full emancipation and absolute abolition. Can we celebrate/commemorate/elevate Juneteenth as a national holiday while still recognizing the critical need for slavery abolition in today's society? Tune in and find out.
