Description

Next week will mark the third year we celebrate Juneteenth as a federal holiday, but how can we celebrate it respectfully while honoring the history of one of the most important days of our region? Houston artist Reginald Adams, who has painted 10 Juneteenth murals across the nations along with his team of creatives, joins host Raheel Ramzanali to answer just that! He'll also explain why every Houstonians should celebrate and what traditions the historical day inspired.

Learn more about Reginald Adams’ work and ways to celebrate Juneteenth below!
