Madam C.J. Walker is our second Juneteenth spotlight.

Walker was the first Black woman millionaire in America. She built a business empire, at first selling products directly to Black women, then employing “beauty culturalists” to hand-sell her wares.

Marie Van Brittan Brown is our final Juneteenth spotlight.

She contributed to a safer society with her invention of the first closed-circuit television security system paving the way for the modern home security systems we use today.

Alice Ball is our first Juneteenth spotlight.

Ball was the first woman and first African American to earn a master’s degree in chemistry from the College of Hawaii. Ball developed an injectable form of chaulmoogra oil, which was used for 20 years to treat Hansen’s disease.

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.

What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is in its 156th year and now a federal holiday. Yet, more than 60% of Americans say they know little-to-nothing about it.

I asked first-time celebrants and longtime observers of the emancipation day what it means to them in 2021 https://t.co/sBpTLte76V
