Justice 4 All Juneteenth Jam Is Back In Grand Rapids For The Fourth Year In A Row
June is a beautiful month for the Black community.
From Black Music Month to Juneteenth, June is the month that the African-American community chooses to celebrate openly and widely throughout the country.
Don't get it twisted though, we celebrate our Black pride daily.
Juneteenth
Sit back and relax for a little history lesson!
Juneteenth is the REAL independence day for the Black community in a sense.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture says that
Juneteenth marks our country's second independence day. Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event remains largely unknown to most Americans.
If you want to learn more about Juneteenth, here are a few books you can read.
