Recent developments have been significant. Congress made Juneteenth a national holiday. President Biden spoke in Tulsa and said, “This was not a riot; this was a massacre.” The St. Paul City Council passed a resolution committed to racial healing and exploring reparation. But what’s next? How do we move forward?
We invite you to read these excellent essays and join us for a conversation:
- The Hidden History of Juneteenth (Portside)
- Juneteenth Is More Than a Federal Holiday. We Need Reparations Now (The Root)
- Transform the lives and labor of Black domestic workers (National Domestic Workers Alliance)
- Making Juneteenth a Holiday Was the Easy Part—Will Real Justice Follow? (Economy For All)
- How a Black Commons Could Help Build Communal Wealth (Yes!)
