Description
YouTube presents a 2020 video, produced by Vox, that explores that significance of "Juneteenth"--also known as Freedom Day or Jubilee Day, celebrates and commemorates the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States--and why Americans should celebrate it, just as they do the 4th of July. The account draws connections between racial violence in the immediate period after slavery and the racial violence occurring in contemporary American society.
