Please continue the beautiful resistance of #BLACKJOY and celebrate Juneteenth this week where ever you are! See you at #embraceideasfestival @EmbraceBOS
Jim and Margery had the pleasure of speaking with @ibramxk and @askimari on @BosPublicRadio yesterday – and you can celebrate Juneteenth with them at the Embrace Ideas Festival next week. As Jeffries said, "if you like to dance and you wear good sneakers, you show up."
