"Celebrating/Commemorating Juneteenth - Abolition Then and Now"
Thursday, June 17, 2021 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM (ET)

Do you know that many have charted the evolution of the modern carceral system beginning with its roots in slavery, officially ended 150 years ago, and connect the movement to abolish slavery in our historical past with today's movement to abolish prisons?
