Juneteenth 2020 Live Updates

Juneteenth 2020: Live Updates The holiday traditionally celebrated by African-Americans to mark the end of slavery has rocketed into the national spotlight.

Recognizing Juneteenth at this historic moment

The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth Juneteenth is a monumental yet often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas, were notified by Union troops they, along with all other enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree.

Celebrating Supreme Court's DACA decision!

Supreme Court blocks Trump’s bid to end DACA, a win for undocumented ‘dreamers’ The 5 to 4 decision was written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and joined by the court’s four liberals.

Reminded today of Mr. Darryl Hunt's life and legacy. I last heard him speak at the North Carolina Sociological Association Meetings hosted by the Department of Sociology, Wake Forest. We join the many who still mourn his death but draw from his wisdom to confront this moment in history.

35 Years After Wrongful Conviction, Darryl Hunt’s Legacy Of Hope Remains With thousands of young demonstrators marching in Winston-Salem to protest the police killing of George Floyd, an older generation in Winston-Salem is looking back.

Wake Forest Law School and American Ethnic Studies co-hosted this forum on police brutality, black lives lost and protest. This forum was held Sept. 28, 2016 - in the wake of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by police in Charlotte, NC. This recording provides us an opportunity to gather (virtually) and listen again to the community and panelists Dean Kami Chavis, Dr. Ronald Neal, Dr. Hana Brown, Dr. Derek Hicks, and Professor Shannon Gilreath, and Chief Catrina Thompson.
