As Juneteenth becomes more widely recognized beyond the Black community, there are an increasing number of activities and events happening in Springfield. For the first time, we've put together a guide to Juneteenth, and explained some of the history and culture behind the holiday, so all may join in the celebration of emancipation. We invited a number of writers and photographers of color to contribute to this special issue, and we hope you enjoy their perspectives. –Michelle Ownbey, Illinois Times publisher
