Adoria hopes that audience members at the Panel Discussion take away the significance of the Juneteenth holiday. 

“Juneteenth is not just a holiday where we don’t have to go to work. It’s the historical importance of people who look like me receiving their freedom years past the emancipation proclamation.”
