There are two things top of mind for this week’s list: Juneteenth or Freedom Day when on this day in 1865 enslaved people learned they were free. There are a number of events around the Bay Area marking this important day. The hope is that June 19 might become a national holiday, a day to remember the end of one of America’s darkest periods. Then, there’s Father’s Day on Sunday - so Dads and Papas please take note.
