Juneteenth and the Legacy of Memory: A Reflection from Canada

The power of history, media, and public knowledge helps shape our futures, and Juneteenth is a reminder of that across borders. I find myself reflecting each year on its significance, not just in the U.S., but here in Canada too, especially during these trying times. With a hope that we never revisit the injustices of eras like Jim Crow, we must stay grounded in memory.
