Community Voices: Terrence J Droppin’ Gems on Juneteenth

As a part of our commitment and responsibilities as an ally, we intend to highlight and amplify black voices within our community. Each week, we’ll be introducing you to a new guest who will be diving into important topics about the #BlackLivesMatter movement. We hope that you will find this series educational and empowering. This week we linked with Terrence J to discuss all things Juneteenth:

-Historical significance?

-How to respectfully observe Juneteenth?

-Takeaways from this important day in history?

-And more…

If today’s Live stoked further curiosity, we’ve provided some additional resources for you to continue your education on Juneteenth.
