Juneteenth: Freedom for All

from Together Apart · host The New York Times

What we deem worthy of gathering around matters. We are in a moment where the Fourth of July is being contested and some are asking, why haven’t we always celebrated June 19th as the true day of freedom for all? Listen in on our season finale as we check back in with Tanesha Forman, a middle school teacher in New Haven, CT who planned a virtual Juneteenth for her entire school with Priya Parker’s help earlier this year.
