Freedom. Resilience. Community. Possibilities of good things to come. Today is Juneteenth.

Today is Juneteenth, a federal holiday recognizing the end of slavery in the United States. But at Boys & Girls Clubs across the country, it's so much more than that. It's a chance for us to recognize and celebrate the perseverance and spirit of Black people in this nation.

Here are some great ways to honor Juneteenth with the young people in your life :

Create opportunities for youth to connect with the important people in their lives, their histories and stories.

Find media that celebrates Black identity, family, friendships and connection.

Encourage teens to have open conversations and discuss history on their own terms.
