Rhode Island Faith Communities Celebrate Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates the actual end of slavery in the United States, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

With the gutting of the Voting Rights Act leading to racial gerrymanders across the nation, especially in the former states of the Confederacy, it is essential that Rhode Islanders learn their history and get involved in the work of dismantling racism.

The nation’s faith communities have long led this work — will you show up?
