I have taught several classes related to racism, segregation, prejudice, enslavement, and cooking on Outschool.  I feel that Juneteenth is an often overlooked but significant holiday in American History.  Traditionally, Juneteenth has not been taught in the schools.  This is an opportunity to have in-depth learning of a very significant holiday.  I created a Juneteenth Activity Booklet that can be a keepsake.
