Juneteenth - What It Is and Why It Matters A Special Lunchtime Learning Program with Olivia Kinzler, Lawrence Edwards, Celeste Austin, Calvin Johnson, Wednesday, June 9, Noon to 1 pm

  Have you ever wondered what Juneteenth was all about?  Is it a legitimate holiday/celebration like Kwaanza?  What is the General Order Number 3?  Is it taught in schools today?   We will answer these and other questions about African-American’s progress from slavery to today’s achievements while looking at a continuation of inequalities...and the rise of racism in the U.S.  Join us on Wednesday, June 9th, noon to 1 pm, for a Zoom  panel discussion.  Here's the link:  tinyurl.com/Juneteenth-Panel
