Anti-Racist Street Art // A History of Juneteenth

*Note: This episode contains historic descriptions of violence against African Americans by White Americans.

Greetings, SOTAns! Thank you for embarking on this journey with us.

This episode is a two-parter: first, Sarah and Jasa discuss the numerous street murals being created honoring George Floyd, supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, and encouraging policing reform. The University of St. Thomas Professors have created a Street Art Database which will document and celebrate the street art being created.

In the second part, we take a break from art-related topics to discuss the history of Juneteenth. Sarah takes us through the first Juneteenth in Galveston, Texas, and explains what this day meant for former slaves and slaveowners in the final days of the American Civil War.
