Google Commemorates Juneteenth

Google is commemorating the celebration that honors the end of slavery in the US in several ways.

Externally, Google is making a number of our products more helpful in this moment, and internally, Google is using this day to create space for learning and reflection.

I can also coordinate an interview with Google Art Director Angelica McKinley or guest artist LoveisWIse to talk about today’s Juneteenth Video Doodle.
