During a live podcast from a Juneteenth celebration in Dalton, Georgia, the hosts of "Blacktivities" podcast discuss the historical celebrations of Juneteenth after the Emancipation Proclamation declaration in 1863. They share their own experiences and thoughts, as well as a few others' from the community, about the national recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday and whether it's a meaningful gesture or just an attempt to pacify Black people without real change.
