In 2021, June 19th became a federal holiday: Juneteenth National Independence Day. It deserves to be better understood.

In this “Webinar Wednesday” presentation, Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, a sociologist at Hartford International University for Religion and Peace who is recognized as an authority on African American culture and religious life, engages her colleague, ethicist Lucinda Mosher, in a conversation about the history of Juneteenth, its importance at this time and how best to observe it.
