Coffee with Historian Dr. Calinda Lee: Commemorating Juneteenth 

与历史学家 Calinda Lee 博士的咖啡时光：纪念六月节 

Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. It is also known as Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Juneteenth Independence Day, and Black Independence Day. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX, and announced the end of the civil war and the end of slavery. 

Join the U.S. Embassy in Beijing as we commemorate this important moment in history by facilitating a conversation over coffee with the historian Dr. Calinda Lee. Learn about the significance of Juneteenth, as well as Dr. Lee’s research, projects, and story.  

“I try to make history personal every day, to connect lessons from the past to living in the present and planning for the future.” Dr. Calinda Lee.
