“As we mark Juneteenth this year, we see celebrating this holiday and investing in Africana Studies as deeply connected expressions of the same institutional value: that Black life, Black history, and Black futurity matter, and that Buffalo State is committed to being a place where every student can find themselves, feel welcomed, and thrive.” - Naila Ansari Carbonell Catilo, associate professor and incoming Africana Studies coordinator

In honor of Juneteenth, representatives from Buffalo State's Africana Studies program gave a few moments of their time to discuss the significance of the holiday and its relationship to the relevant field of Africana Studies.
