This episode is a recording of a live interview panel discussion all things Juneteenth. We discuss what Juneteenth is, why it’s important, and how we can celebrate, especially those of us who are white and may be wondering how we can engage in an honest and respectful way. We also discuss patriotism, what it is, what it isn’t, and what it might look like for people who are seeking to be honest about US history and present day circumstances.
