Juneteenth: It's About Damn Time

from Why Would You Ask That? Hosted by Why Would You Ask That?

Juneteenth. What is it about? Why is it important? Why is it just now becoming a holiday? The three of us explore the history, both recent and less so, that has led to the claiming of Juneteenth. The hard work of many has gone into bringing the holiday to mainstream consciousness, especially someone who would walk 1500 miles to see it signed into law.
