You're listening to Pantsu Politics, the home of Grace-filled political conversations.

Thank you. of grace-filled political conversations. Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Pantsuit Politics. We are so happy to be here with you today.

And before we get started, we wanted to ask you, ever so sweetly, if you could pop on over to Apple Podcast app and give us a rating and review.

It helps new people find Pantsuit Politics.

And also it warms our hearts when you share really, really lovely reviews like this one,

says in a time like this, there aren't both sides. You're either on the right side of history here

or you aren't, and I think both Beth and Sarah have shown this through research and thoughtful

discussion. Thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to learn from each other and from others.

I'm in turn learning from you. That warms my heart. Thank you so much.

Lovely person who left this review who has a really long username. I'm not going to read.

So if you could pop over and give us a rating and review, we would be eternally grateful.

So today is a special day in the United States. It is Juneteenth. We are going to endeavor to share with you some things that

we are learning about Juneteenth that we think all Americans should know and that unfortunately

we're not taught to us in our schools. We also recognize that we are two white ladies having this

conversation and we do not want to in any way be appropriative or condescending

or iroly or cringy in any respect and we will probably not make it through this whole episode

without creating one of those moments for you and ourselves later and so we're just trying to

hold some grace here because what we do think is important is to use the time that we have with our audience who we cherish talking about things that we didn't learn enough about in school and that haven't been talked about enough in our mostly white communities.
