On this episode, Professor Peggy gives a pop quiz on a lesser known Black Holiday: Juneteenth. How much do you know about this day? We also discuss the heart wrenching, Ava Duvernay film, "When They See Us" which is streaming now on Netflix. A story told from the perspective of five formally jailed, wrongfully accused black men from a crime that took place in the 90s. We get into the impact that socio-economic status has on black and brown impoverished families and how lack of education can end up taking away our basic human rights. Whether you are black, brown, white or other, these are stories that affect all our lives and they need to be told. We as five black women, chose to share this information with our listeners since ignorance isn't always bliss. Each one, reach one, teach one. #UBUNTU
