This past Wednesday was Juneteenth, the holiday marking when the last enslaved people in the U.S. learned that they were free, and Philadelphia celebrated the way we always do - big. KYW Newsradio’s Shara Dae Howard tells us about the meaning of Juneteenth, a block party at the African American Museum in Philadelphia, and the renaming of a street in the Gayborhood to honor a Black LGBTQ+ activist, Michael S. Hinson, Jr.
