Ciis Black Student Union Transformation Series
The discussion centered on the significance of Juneteenth, exploring its historical roots, its ongoing relevance as a symbol of resistance and liberation, and the importance of continued advocacy for freedom and equality. Participants shared personal reflections on the impact of emancipation, the challenges posed by the commodification of the holiday, and the necessity of remembering the history of the African diaspora. The session also served as an invitation for community members to join the Black Student Union.
