Episode 214: Decolonizing American Holidays: Black Holidays to Remember and Celebrate
All American holidays ain't white! Kwanzaa. Juneteenth. Harriet Tubman Day. Black holidays are real and important. They remember the contributions, struggles, and victories of Black people in America and around the world. Yet we are encouraged to celebrate the "white" American or "white-approved" holidays like July 4th and Columbus Day.
It's time to decolonize our holidays!
We can focus on holidays that honor Black history and culture. Many people are unfamiliar with these special days. This podcast discusses some of the more famous days and a few lesser-known days. These holidays are inspirational, educational, and reflective--all at the same time. Get ready to celebrate and commemorate!
