Episode 16 The 47th Annual Juneteenth Festival in Buffalo, NY has been welcoming people from all over the country to celebrate long before June 19th was recognized as a National Holiday. Ras Jomo, the Executive Vice President for Juneteenth Festival, says, “I think there’s a whole lot of room, opportunity, and solidarity for Buffalo to show the world again why we’re a leading city in this country and in this time.” This year's festival may be the most important one yet because it comes a month after 10 innocent people lost their lives in a racially motivated mass shooting at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue. Juneteenth is the celebration of the end of slavery in the United States, and yet here we are still fighting for our freedom to live in peace as Black people in America. "Our liberation does not pose a threat to your existence" - Pastor George Hosted by Pastor George, chair of the Buffalo Center for Health Equity www.BuffaloHealthEquity.org Produced by JazzCast Pros www.JazzCastPros.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
