According to Wikipedia Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans.

I sat down with the Harrisburg Chapter of Young Professionals of Color (YPOC). Our conversation went a bit deeper then the Celebration itself. In fact, the conversation explored avenues for which I may never understand, because I didn't live in their shoes. What I can say is platforms like mine give other people a chance to listen and hopefully inspire.
Interview includes:
Jankail Adams
Dr. Kimeka Campbell
Winnie Okello
Boots Sampson
