Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.
Today, Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.
Live tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific, Dr. Vibe and V. Sheree Williams, publisher of Cuisine Noir magazine, will be hosting a discussion about Juneteenth and its 150th anniversary. The scheduled guests for the conversation are:

Chef Kevin Mitchell – Charleston, South Carolina
Chef Kevin Mitchell is the first African-American instructor at Trident Technical College’s cooking and hospitality school in Charleston, South Carolina. Kevin grew up in a single-parent home in Rahway, N.J., about 15 miles southwest of Manhattan with three brothers and a mom who sometimes worked three jobs and a grandmother who kept family life running smoothly. He completed his culinary education at the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park, NY and went to run numerous kitchens around the country before taking his current position. This past April, he was selected by professor David Shields to channel the role of slave turned one of Charleston’s premier caterers and the city’s first mixologist on record, Nat Fuller, to recreate the feast Fuller did in 1865 that brought Blacks and Whites together to dine.

In America, on average, black men and women make roughly the same, in stark contrast with the large pay gap between white men and women. This isn’t because of a commitment to gender equality in the black community; it’s because of the lack of economic opportunity. Click on the link below to read more.
