Description
From the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance:
Last year Juneteenth was declared a national holiday. How do we reconcile that with the ongoing efforts in Vermont and nationally to abolish slavery? Join us as we navigate a discussion to unpack the truth about our US history with slavery and hear from some of the abolitionists doing the work in other states and at the national level NOW in 2022.
