We kicked off our Juneteenth celebration with the Juneteenth Atlanta Parade & Music Festival last weekend—the event that has served as Atlanta’s official Juneteenth celebration since it was first recognized as a city holiday. Now in its 5th year as an official city observance, Juneteenth is a time to honor the journey toward freedom and reflect on the work still ahead. Today, on Juneteenth, we continue that reflection—celebrating progress while staying committed to equity, inclusion, and justice

This Juneteenth, learn more about “Columbia’s Black Wall Street” in a documentary premiering this evening at the Nickelodeon Theater produced by USC alumnus Deon Generette and featuring the executive director of our Center for Civil Rights History and Research, Bobby Donaldson.
