Before President Biden declared Juneteenth a federal holiday this week, the day was mostly celebrated by Black folks in Texas.
So we decided to talk to Christopher Williams, a Houston-based chef, all about food and Juneteenth. npr.org/sections/codeswitch/…

"It's not enough to honor the strength, sacrifice and perseverance of the Black Americans whose freedom this day celebrates. We have to also remember that, 156 years later, the legacy of slavery and the great grandchildren of racism are alive in the news today." -Keith Woods, NPR

Journalism has a problem with source diversity. That's why I am SO proud of this resource. All the experts here are @NPR-vetted. You can search by location or field.
Use it to tell fuller stories. And end each interview with: "Who else should I talk to?" training.npr.org/sources
