Remembering Juneteenth
Juneteenth is the celebration of hard-fought freedom, and the ongoing fight to protect it. From environmental injustice to attacks on voting rights, minority communities in North Carolina continue to face threats to their freedom.
At NCLCV, we are committed to protecting the health and quality of life for all North Carolinians, that work is part of the legacy Juneteenth calls us to carry forward.
Freedom is a right and responsibility. Happy Juneteenth!
