On the occasion of this 155th observance of Juneteenth, a collective of Black pastors and theologians lift our voices to emphatically repudiate white supremacy and anti-Black violence.
In his new documentary, award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson examines the legacy of entrepreneurship and violence in the Greenwood district of Tulsa in 1921.
As global conversations about systemic racism, police brutality and the criminal justice system continue to evolve, advocates hope this holiday will finally get the recognition it deserves.
“The relative obscurity of Juneteenth in our national dialogue serves as a reminder that White supremacy is still entrenched in how Americans understand our history—and its impact on the present.”
