Juneteenth Conference (LIVE June 18) - Saving Black Families & Communities

Jun 15, 2026

This Juneteenth, We’re Not Celebrating. We’re Building.

A full-day conference on saving Black families and communities — and why I need you in the room.

Every year, Juneteenth gets a little more commercial. A little more decorative. A few more corporate emails. Another holiday sale.

We’re doing something different.

On June 18, 2026, Soul Thursdays and the International Institute for Improving Race Relations are hosting the 2026 National Juneteenth Leadership Conference — a free, full-day virtual gathering built around one question:

What does it actually take to save Black families and communities?

We’re bringing people who are doing the work — right now — into one room to share what’s working.
