Join us for a talk about the significance of Juneteenth and how to observe it.
About the Event
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.
This is the second in a four-part series from the university. Other sessions in the series:
- July 10 – Islam 101: Beliefs and Practices
- July 24 - Active Listening in Divisive Times
- Aug 7 - Judaism 101: Beliefs and Practices
