<p>In Part 1 of this special Juneteenth edition of Convo Cafe, we begin a powerful conversation that goes beyond surface celebrations. Juneteenth marks the delayed emancipation of the final group of enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas — a moment that continues to echo through generations. Joined by Harry Weaver, (Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer of Oakland County, MI) we explore the historical roots of the holiday, its cultural evolution, and what it means for Black Americans today. Tune in for reflections, knowledge, and real talk about freedom, resilience, and the fight that still continues.</p>
