The Church of Classic Rock Join the Reverend Jeff Smith and learn about a day that should be celebrated loudly all over the U.S. but isn't (yet)! June 19th has a special name and a special place in history. It's known as "Juneteenth" and celebrates the actual end of slavery in the United States. The Reverend will discuss the specifics of the day, offer some historical background on celebrating it, the historical details about why June 19th is so important in our nation's history, a little more on the history from the National Museum of African American History in Washington, DC, and finally the Rev'll explain why, after four years of a president enabling white supremacists, this holiday has never been more important to raise public awareness about and to celebrate!
