Juneteenth: Finding Joy, Fueling Change

On this Juneteenth edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy explore the legacy of the holiday through conversations about resilience, advocacy and joy. Tia sits down with Shavon Arline-Bradley, president and CEO of the National Council of Negro Women, to talk about her organization's policy priorities and how faith and justice intersect in her work. Then, Ernie Suggs joins to reflect on his AJC feature about Black joy as resistance, and the ways Black Georgians are choosing joy even amid political struggle and personal hardship.   Have a question or comment for the show?
