About this Event
MS. OPAL LEE, "Grandmother" of Juneteenth:
"...we should be able to work together to dispel the disparities that exist now - Homelessness, Joblessness, Health Care for All, and Climate Change -- I believe Juneteenth is the catalyst to make that come true."

"The moment we choose to love, we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love, we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others."
