“My father has taught me a number of things throughout my life. Being an academic, he has instilled in me the importance of raising my children with the expectation of academic excellence. He is also a devout Christian and taught me that being a spiritual leader and example to my boys will help guide them to developing a personal relationship with Christ.” - Dr. Melvin E. Thomas III ‘12

Juneteenth is the oldest national holiday commemorating the freedom of our African American brothers and sisters in our nation. Though our country has made progress since June 19, 1865, there is still work to be done.

Let us join together in prayer that God would reveal to our country the truth that not only are all people created equal, but all are created fearfully and wonderfully in the image of God (Psalm 139:14). To learn more about Juneteenth and the history preceding and following this holiday, explore this resource guide created by the Warner Library: libguides.eastern.edu/c.php (link in bio)
