Understanding Juneteenth's Future in Fort Worth with Jarred Howard

The National Juneteenth Museum just hosted its first event in the city. Ann and EJ were in attendance and absolutely moved by the history, present, and future of the connection between Juneteenth and Fort Worth. Jarred Howard is the CEO of the National Juneteenth Museum. We sit down with him to talk about the project and how we Fort Worthians can get involved. Enjoy!
