Happy Juneteenth!
🎉 Today, we commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S. And while Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities for decades, it's only recently been made a federal holiday. On this Juneteenth, a couple of queer writers discussed the intersections of the day along with Pride Month.
Our community editor Marie-Adélina de la Ferrière asks how we can reflect on the intertwined struggles for freedom and equality that Juneteenth and Pride Month bring.NCLR's Imani Rupert-Gordon wrote about the need to remember the reason behind both Juneteenth and Pride Month in order to continue fighting for progress.🌈 Will you be in Washington, D.C., on June 25? The Advocate will be hosting a special meet-and-greet with readers at D.C.'s famous Little Gay Pub from 6-8 p.m. Several of us from equalpride will be there to talk with readers about our work and what topics you're interested in. Hope to see you there! 🌈
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper
