“Juneteenth: The Emancipation of the U.S. Slaves”
OUR COMMON GROUND #HISTORYMATTERS PODCAST
We provide a history of the event and the celebration of Juneteenth as we celebrate its first year as a national holiday.
Juneteenth is specifically a celebration of Black emancipation. Race-based chattel slavery intentionally ensnared people of African descent and labeled them as property. Juneteenth was made possible because of the courage and resilience of Black people who persistently fought for their liberation. American Black freedom struggle is the central place in Juneteenth celebrations.
We return and continue the OCG DISCUSSION SERIES, “REPARATIONS: The Debt That Is Owed”, Saturday, June 26, 2021.

Episode # 1: “The Debt That Is Owed: Reparations & the Descendants of US Chattel Slavery”
Guest: Dr. William “Sandy” Darity
Wishing you a great holiday weekend.
We will return on June 5, 2021, as we begin our series “Reparations: The Debt That Is Owed”
Our Guest in this first episode is Dr. William “Sandy” Darity.
Episode #`: “The Debt That Is Owed: Reparations & the Descendants of US Chattel Slavery”
I am excited to host a discussion with “SandyDarity” once again to explore his views found in his book, with Kirsten Mullen, “From Here to Equality.” It makes the case for reparations to Black Americans, the descendants of the US system of chattel slavery. This fascinating work confronts economic injustices and continuing wealth disparity for American descendants of the US System of chattel slavery; and, the injustices created in the aftermath. “Sandy” has been an OUR COMMON GROUND Voice since 2009. We invite you to join us.
