Juneteenth Implementation Guide

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. Most people still don't know how to mark it.

The Coffee With A Black Guy Juneteenth Implementation Guide gives you something to actually do with the day — whether you're an individual trying to observe it honestly, an employer figuring out what comes after the paid day off, a community organization building programming around it, or an educator working with young people before the summer break.

Nine sections. Practical, grounded, and built from over a decade of facilitated conversations about race, identity, and belonging.

What's inside:

→ A brief history of Juneteenth — including what the 902-day delay actually tells us

→ The three flags: Pan-African, Black American Heritage, and Juneteenth — history and significance of each

→ Tailored guidance for four audiences: individuals & families, employers, community organizations, and educators & youth workers

→ Five CWABG Guiding Principles for entering honest conversation

→ Seven discussion questions drawn from years of facilitated dialogue

→ A reparations primer — because Juneteenth demands more than celebration

→ Guidance on tone: how to celebrate like a nation ending its grip on enslavement

→ A full implementation checklist: before, on, and after June 19

→ A curated further reading and resources section

Includes two versions: Print/save PDF + interactive HTML with live links (opens in browser).
