Juneteenth Ambassador

"Juneteenth places Black people at the center of the conversation about freedom, it's meaning and manifestation in this nation. It allows each generation to reflect what more there is to do."

- Mary Elliott

Curator of American Slavery at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC)
