Emory celebrates Juneteenth

Juneteenth, celebrated this year on Saturday, June 19, marks the day when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached African Americans in Texas in 1865. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to participate in a June 17 virtual celebration offered by Emory School of Medicine in collaboration with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The event, Giving Voice: The Rest of the Story with Dr. Marion Hood, is described below.
