Since the abolition of slavery, the struggle for racial equity continues. As a society, there is a lot that we can learn from our young people. The passages below were written by the Class of 2022 Senior Falcons, one month before they graduated from Public Service Leadership Academy at Fowler High School. Together, their voices describe the historical context and today’s significance of Juneteenth. Thank you to Principal Richard Romeo, as well as your teachers, John Conley and Michael Adams.
