Join Dr. Michael G. Cartwright, host of Juneteenth Conversations, for searching conversations with University of Indianapolis faculty and staff about our common future.
On June 19th, 1865, word reached Galveston, Texas that they were free. The following year, these former slaves gathered at the A.M. E. Church to celebrate the good news of freedom. That occasion became known as Juneteenth.
We want to have searching conversations about interracial topics through this monthly podcast touching on the history and current events relative to Juneteenth, social justice, inclusion, and equality.
