EBONY hosts a Two-Day Juneteenth summit to ensure future Black generations live in a different America. • EBONY

Corporations,
activists, celebrities, and politicians mobilize a galvanized community into
moving forward.

Community leaders, celebrities, and athletes
will use the 154th anniversary of Juneteenth to spearhead action around how to
make real changes and open the doors to the American dreams to a people that
has long been locked out.

From Covid-19, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor,  and Ahmaud Arbery, Anthropolgie’s policy on identifying Black customers as “Nicks”, Colin Kaepernick to the fight to be able to cast a vote – the friction between our actions as a nation and the beliefs upon which we built our country require prompt immediate change. The unconscionable treatment of African American’s by the criminal justice system, Corporate American, and the sports industries, for the most part, have been largely unchallenged of late. JUNETEENTH will change that.

Panels will include:

• EQUAL JUSTICE NOW

    Mosley Jr.
