Do the Afro Twist and the Pop-Eye while we celebrate S2LGBTQ+ pioneers for Pride month and, as we always do, the lives, loves, loses, joys and heartaches of the African American people who made this music possible. Happy Juneteenth! Now a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African American slaves. A wobbly start to a long and hard struggle with many steps backward. We hear you, we see you, we celebrate you every week here on On Target.
