Episode #19 Juneteenth

from Kingya Speaks

June 19, 1965, commemorates Juneteenth, the oldest US celebration of the end of slavery. Some called it Emancipation Day. On this day in history, a white Major General Gordon Granger told slaves of their emancipation. Our ancestors struggled with systemic racism and injustice.  Today blacks are still faced with the plague of systemic racism and injustice which has lasted for one hundred and fifty-five years after the Emancipation proclamation. Is this a time for blacks in America to celebrate?  Join in on the conversation with Kingya and our most honored guest speaker Kwame SunHorse.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kingya/message
