Juneteenth

In order to celebrate Juneteenth I think it is important to educate yourself about the holiday and do something you feel is right for the Black community in celebrating. Support a Black-owned business, eat at a Black-owned restaurant, read a book about taking apart systemic racism — whatever you choose, don't just do it today, do it every day.
