This week, we celebrate Juneteenth and explain the importance of a holiday centered around Black Americans. With an emphasis on freedom and allyship, we encourage our non-black friends and neighbors, especially our fellow Christians, to delve into our history, educate with important well-rounded resources, and understand the black experience in the United States beyond the context of slavery.
