In honor of Juneteenth — June 19 — how do you celebrate?
Jacqui Greene, Tampa, Fla.
Through education and celebration of current accomplishments, but staying mindful of the fact that there is still so much work to do for us to be truly free because slavery never ended; it only evolved.
Cornelius T., Atlanta
I march in the annual parade, flying the red, black, and green and hanging out at the festival.
Jerome Payne, Washington, D.C.
One word: “Freedom.”
Aaron White, Buffalo, N.Y.
The same way we have been in Buffalo since 1976. We honor our ancestors, support our brothers and sisters, and encourage our future.
Drelly Black, New Orleans
I purchase items from my fellow Black business owners as well as spend time with family.
