Rudy Jean-Bart, an Associate Dean of Criminal Justice, who prior to that was a professor in African American History.
He will discuss the history of Juneteenth as well what the 19th day of June in 1865 cultivated for African Americans and America as a whole. As we find ourselves almost 160 years removed from that date, Jean-Bart will discuss the importance of ensuring freedom and economic promise for African Americans and all members of the African diaspora and how that serves as a benefit to America as a whole.
