What is freedom and independence? How have we come to celebrate Juneteenth?  We celebrate Juneteenth as a federal holiday because formerly enslaved people and their descendants advocated\, organized and marched for decades to have this day recognized and celebrated. \nIn this Freedom Festival Conversation\, Drs. Raquell Holmes and Jessie Fields lead us in a walk through our movements for freedom. You will meet fellow festival attendees and presenters from around the country.  Utilizing the hosts’ playful\, philosophical conversational style\, we will gather to learn who and how people are sharing their stories and dreams in the Freedom Festival. \nJoin this open conversation led by improvscience founder Raquell Holmes and East Side Institute faculty\, Jessie Fields. \n \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	[tec_speakers speaker_link="permalink"]
