Juneteenth and the Transformative Power of Time

Date: Thursday June 16, 2022 (This event occurred in the past.)
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
  • Description:

    Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States, but was the release from slavery enough to be truly free? Xernona Clayton, Founder, President and CEO of the Trumpet Awards Foundation Inc., invites you into an intimate conversation around the evolution of Juneteenth — uncovering the rich legacy and impact of the historic day and annual celebration through the lens of civil rights and culture. Drawing from her groundbreaking activism and advocacy journey from the 1960s onward, Xernona will share insights from working alongside iconic civil rights activists like the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and bring new understanding to how Juneteenth has changed along with the world — and what it means for driving progress forward today.
