In order to work towards a more just world, we have to confront our history. This day is not only a celebration of freedom and a marker of the inequity that has plagued our country, but also a reminder of the ongoing work toward creating a just world, as God intended.

At Eastown, we believe in the importance of pursuing freedom and racial equality until they become a reality. Juneteenth challenges us to reflect on our role in promoting justice for all people. How does this start? Through listening and learning. We have compiled a list of Juneteenth resources below for kids and adults.
