Celebrating Juneteenth

Here at Los Angeles Education Partnership (LAEP), we are committed to cultivating awareness of educational equity and liberation within our work. To honor this vital connection on this profound day, LAEP will observe Juneteenth, Thursday, June 19, 2025, by pausing our day-to-day operations. Our staff will dedicate this time to healing, reflection, and historical education, respectfully remembering the countless individuals who have advanced the cause of freedom and equality. 

As we center equity as an organization, the day is also a reminder of the continued fight for equity in our society. Let's continue to uplift Black leaders, businesses, and organizations.

In the spirit of promoting conversations with our children and communities, here are some resources to help provide context for discussion.
