Please join the SJSU iSchool for our symposium on Juneteenth Day, “Roots of Resilience: Food as Medicine, Music as Healing, Literacy as Power”, presented in collaboration with the Black Student Library Collective (BSLC) and taking place Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at 10:00am – 12:00pm Pacific Time. 

Juneteenth Day (June 19th) celebrates the day slavery finally ended in the United States, on June 19th, 1865, when the enslaved African Americans in Texas were freed after Texas rebelled against the Emancipation Proclamation that declared the freedom of African Americans. Ever since, Juneteenth has become a celebration of freedom.
