Today is June 19th, Juneteenth Freedom Day. While not the day when slavery officially ended in the US, this is the day Americans come together to remember and celebrate the end of slavery. In this special hour of Inside Sources, we take a closer look at the holiday itself and at today's celebrations. We also take a deep dive into the impacts on Utah's economy because of the Black community and Black-owned businesses. For those conversations, Greg and Holly are joined by Betty Sawyer, NAACP Ogden branch president and Sidni L. Shorter, PsyD, President and CEO of the Utah Black Chamber. We also talk about the unique family history challenges that come for those of African descent; we're joined in the studio by Thom Reed of FamilySearch International for that part of the story.
