Celebrate Juneteenth Around the Triangle
As the Harvard community reflects on Harvard's history and legacy of slavery (see Harvard President Larry Bacow's April 26th address on the subject here), we can all look for ways to cotinue the discussion. It's a great time to do it, with the Juneteenth National Holiday coming up on June 19th. For excellent background materials on Juneteenth, see Harvard's collection of articles, speeches, and recorded discussions here. Then, on Sunday, June 19th, grab a fellow Harvard alum and head to one of the Triangle's Juneteenth event:
