** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------
Despite attempts to quickly commercialize the recognition of Juneteenth as a national holiday in the United States, this celebration highlights the importance of honest history and the relevance of the past in the struggles of the present. These LFJ resources ([link removed]) can help unpack the complex history of this observance that originated in Texas—including the need for intervention from the federal government and efforts toward obscuring what actually took place.

We’ll let you know whenever we update The Moment. And please consider subscribing to the Learning for Justice newsletter for more news and information.

Thanks for all you do to promote a just society.
Jalaya Liles Dunn
Director, Learning for Justice
