Author: KMOJ-89.9 FM “The People’s Station” June 30, 2026 Duration: 1:03:20

This week on The 4 Opinions, we're joined by Latoya Turk, Director of the Office of Community Prevention, Health & Safety for the City of Brooklyn Park, for a powerful conversation about the true meaning of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is more than a celebration; it is a day of remembrance, resilience, and responsibility. Together, we'll explore the authentic history behind June 19, 1865, honor the sacrifices of our ancestors, and discuss why preserving our culture, stories, and traditions is essential for future generations.

We'll also examine how communities can continue the legacy of freedom through education, unity, health, safety, economic empowerment, and civic engagement. What does freedom look like today? How do we carry the torch for those who came before us? And how do we inspire hope, purpose, and tenacity in the generations that follow?

Join us as we celebrate our history, embrace our heritage, and challenge ourselves to ensure that the spirit of Juneteenth lives far beyond one day on the calendar.

Because honoring our ancestors isn't just about remembering where we've been,it's about building where we're going.
