Celebrate Juneteenth with Inspirational Speakers

June 12, 2024

In 2021, June 19th became the federal holiday known as “Juneteenth.”

Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved men and women were finally told they were free, two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The holiday now celebrates African American freedom and achievement while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures. As it takes on a more national, symbolic, and global perspective, the events of 1865 are commemorated and we are reminded that while change may happen slowly, it is possible.

These insightful inspirational speakers use their unique stories along with historical examples to illustrate how we can all better understand the important lessons of Juneteenth. Sharing narratives about self-discovery, leadership, and perseverance, these remarkable leaders leave audiences enlightened and inspired.
