What is Juneteenth?

6/18/2020

 
Hi Parents, Educators, Caregivers and Community Members,
 
I wanted to share these resources about Juneteenth to help support you all to introduce and discuss with your children and community members.
 
This Friday June 19th is a very important day in American History and it's not known to many and is not taught in schools to our children.
 
I've included a couple of links to provide some support and resources, in hopes of you being able to pull something together for your students, if you’re an educator, and/or for our own children and family at home to learn about and prepare to celebrate this Friday June 19th.
