Juanta Griffin has called Oak Park, Illinois home since she was 4 years old, and has been serving our community as an organizer, mentor, and educator ever since. She has a long standing commitment to racial equity and justice -- she created a Black History Program for a local Oak Park daycare when she was just fifteen years old. She also helped usher in Juneteenth as a community-supported holiday in her town. On this episode she talks with Dan about the history of Juneteenth, how all Americans can (and should) celebrate it and more.
