Co-chairs of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Council for Providence in Northern California, Tiffanie and Montserrat talk about the significance of Juneteenth. This historic event was not being taught in public schools, so Tiffanie’s grandmother took it upon herself to educate the family about its historical significance and made it a day of celebration.
