One year after Congress passed legislation establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday, the California State University (CSU) and Stanislaus State are commemorating the occasion with local and systemwide events.
On Wednesday, June 15, and Thursday, June 16, the CSU will hold an inaugural Juneteenth Symposium titled, “By Any Means Necessary: Synthesizing the Voices of Our Ancestors and Everyday People.” The symposium, hosted by CSU Dominguez Hills, will feature speakers, student performances, panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions.
