Lakeisha Jones and Etta LaFlora from the newly formed Kewanee Committee on Human Relations, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Friday morning. Junetheenth is this weekend, June 19th, and Etta and Lakeisha were on hand to give us the history of Juneteenth and why it is now a federal holiday. The rich history of the celebration of the end of slavery is one that has long been celebrated in black communities but has only recently been adopted as a National Holiday.
