St. Clair County Community College invites the public to attend a webinar called “Free-ish”, held on Thursday, June 17th from 10-11:30 a.m.
Juneteenth refers to June 19th, 1865, when slaves in Texas were finally freed under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.
SC4’s office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is holding a virtual Juneteenth Celebration called “Free-ish” that will feature speakers discussing the history of Juneteenth, bridging the gap between the African and Black Community and the current state of Black America.
Guest speakers at the webinar include Alphonso Amos, Lead Organizer of Black Lives Matter Port Huron; Kevin Totty, Program Coordinator with the Community Foundation of St. Clair County; and Kevin Watkins, President of the Port Huron Branch of the NAACP.
The panel discussion will include several local and regional leaders discussing the current state of Black America. SC4’s Jessica Brown said the webinar is open to everyone, near and far.
