OCG History Matters Broadcast ::: " Juneteenth: Emancipation of the US Slaves"

::: "Juneteenth: A Celebration of  the Emancipation of the Slaves" :::

An OUR COMMON GROUND #HISTORYMATTERS SPECIAL

We provide a history of the event and the celebration of Juneteenth as we celebrate its first year as a national holiday.

Juneteenth is specifically a celebration of Black emancipation. Race-based chattel slavery intentionally ensnared people of African descent and labeled them as property. Juneteenth was made possible because of the courage and resilience of Black people who persistently fought for their liberation.  American Black freedom struggle is the central place in Juneteenth celebrations.
