This Juneteenth, our virtual #BHeard Town Hall will look at the state of freedom in Black communities as they grapple with COVID-19, benign neglect, and state-sanctioned violence.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of enslavement in the United States. Since June 19th, 1865 the day has emphasized education, achievement and reflection on African-American freedom.

Join us on YouTube Live as we bring together artists, activists, change makers and stakeholders for community and conversation.

Panelists:

Laurie Cumbo, Majority Leader for the New York City Council.

Rosa Clemente, Organizer, Political Commentator and Independent Journalist.

Robert Gangi, Executive Director of the Police Reform Organizing Project.

Olympia Sudan, Co-Director of Black Trans Media.

Moderated by BRIC TV Managing Editor Brian Vines.
