It has been a little more than two years since the murder of George Floyd and the social unrest that followed. Since that time, many companies, organizations, city leaders, and nonprofits have promised and delivered social justice reform for the betterment of our entire society, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams who last spring designated Juneteenth as an official paid holiday for local government workers for the first time ever.
On May 21, 2022, the EEAP Coalition hosted its first community events and panels called “Barbershop and Beauty Shop Conversations” to raise additional awareness and support for Black Studies.
