California Collaborates on 'Beyond Juneteenth' to Elevate Awareness For Holiday

To enhance the recognition and celebration of Juneteenth, Juneteenth California has forged a partnership with the HAWK Institute and local author and filmmaker Tommy Ross. This collaboration aims to expand the influence and reach of the illustrated adaptation of Ross’ book, “Beyond Juneteenth.” Under this new agreement, Juneteenth California will act as the official distributor for the illustrated edition of “Beyond Juneteenth.” This initiative is pivotal in spreading awareness about Juneteenth and its significant contribution to the freedoms and values essential to contemporary American society. The book can be purchased via the Juneteenth California website. “Beyond Juneteenth” presents a vibrant exploration of Juneteenth, celebrating emancipation while also contextualizing it within the broader spectrum of historical events that underpin cherished liberties. With its captivating illustrations, the book aims to engage audiences of all ages, ensuring the legacy of Juneteenth endures across generations. Michael Harris, founder of Juneteenth California, expressed pride in supporting this initiative and highlighted the importance of understanding Juneteenth's place within a larger narrative of resilience and achievement.
