Episode 16 The 47th Annual Juneteenth Festival in Buffalo, NY has been welcoming people from all over the country to celebrate long before June 19th was recognized as a National Holiday. Ras Jomo, the Executive Vice President for Juneteenth Festival, says, “I think there’s a whole lot of room, opportunity, and solidarity for Buffalo to show the world again why we’re a leading city in this country and in this time.”
This year's festival may be the most important one yet because it comes a month after 10 innocent people lost their lives in a racially motivated mass shooting at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue.
Juneteenth is the celebration of the end of slavery in the United States, and yet here we are still fighting for our freedom to live in peace as Black people in America.
