Juneteenth is Ours w/ Dr. Assata Richards

This Juneteenth episode dives deep into the meaning and celebration of Black freedom. The show explores the historical context of June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas finally learned of their emancipation two years after the proclamation. Dr. Assata Richards joins to discuss the importance of local emancipation stories, community-based celebrations, and psychological liberation from white supremacy. Callers from Texas, California, Indiana, and Tennessee share how their families honor the day—from red drinks and barbecues to photo albums and parades. The conversation touches on corporate co-opting of the holiday, the need for Black children to learn their heritage, and practical ways to celebrate authentically. There's also discussion of Freedom Schools, the significance of red foods in Juneteenth tradition, and creating a 'corridor of Black freedom' from Juneteenth through July 4th.
