The Climate Crisis is being felt. We celebrate juneteenth, a Texas Tradition where young black women are free to be themselves. This is American Voices. Today is the first juneteenth in america as a federal holiday. Commemorating the day the last enslaved people in fwal vesston, texas, were informed of their freedom in 1865.

With me now, Reverend William Barber ii judith brown, and natash
