Summary
In Donaldsonville, Louisiana, a powerful Juneteenth celebration called “Libations and Citations” drew crowds of all ages, featuring a hometown hero: retired Louisiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Bernette Johnson, the state’s first Black chief justice. Returning to sign copies of her new teen-focused book, she delivered an electrifying message of possibility, sharing her journey from local roots to historic achievement—and urging young people to dream big, work hard, and lead. She warned that history is under attack nationwide, urging youth to vote, organize, and fight for justice. The museum’s board chair echoed her call, reminding the crowd that every generation faces its own civil rights battles—and that courage and community action are the keys to progress.
