Week of Juneteenth in Santa Barbara

Understanding our history is critical to the development of our understanding of ourselves. Juneteenth, which celebrates the emancipation of enslaved peoples in the United States, is a time for remembrance and reflection. Pacifica Graduate Institute and Fielding Graduate University are pleased to partner with organizations in the community to commemorate Juneteenth, gather as a community, and learn further about the Black history in Santa Barbara and beyond. https://pgiaa.org/juneteenth/
