THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM
“On this Juneteenth, as we commemorate the day that news of emancipation finally arrived for Black Americans in Texas, we remember the power of people knowing and exercising their freedoms. We uplift the virtues of democracy and justice. And we demand the recognition of Black joy as essential to everyday life. With our rights being challenged by those who refuse our equal existence, may today renew our commitment to liberation and remind us all of the possibilities unlocked for society when those who support democracy prevail over those who would rather destroy it in the name of racism and division.”

Co-Founder and Executive Director of AAPF

Juneteenth reminds us that the struggle for our freedom has always included the fight for liberatory knowledge. Black liberation requires the freedom to learn about the conditions of our own lives and about the history that brought us to this moment. Join us on June 19th for an important Juneteenth conversation with our partners at ASALH and continue to make your voice heard as we continue the struggle for liberation on Juneteenth and all year.
