Today, in observance of Juneteenth, we invite everyone to join us in a day of celebration of the abolition of slavery through reflection and education about the work that still lies ahead for all of us.
Here are some resources, events and activities that have been compiled by our partners at Clementine Gold Group:
- Watch What is Juneteenth and Why Do We Celebrate? This animated video from BrainPOP is suitable for a variety of age groups and explains the history of Juneteenth.
- Visit the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center. The Center, located in Niagara Falls, NY, offers a collection of virtual and in-person learning resources.
