It is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder that freedom delayed is freedom denied, and that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when some political leaders and institutions are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034699/racial-justice-advocates-stay-course-dei-faces-mounting-attacks\">seeking to narrow\u003c/a> how slavery, racism and the contributions of Black Americans are discussed in public life, Juneteenth stands as a reminder that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941469/the-reasons-for-reparations-and-why-theyre-necessary-to-achieve-equity\">understanding history\u003c/a> is essential to understanding the present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past four years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/reparations\">KQED’s Reparations Desk\u003c/a> has reported on the people, policies and communities grappling with that legacy.

It is about repair. What does it mean to repair damage that accumulated across generations? What does accountability look like when the effects of discrimination remain visible in neighborhoods, schools and family histories? \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12021914/rise-east-unlocks-100-million-to-reimagine-east-oakland\">And how are communities already working to rebuild what was taken\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of Juneteenth celebrations at the Oakland Museum of California, we asked attendees a simple question: Juneteenth marks the end of slavery. What does repair look like today? Their answers reflect a range of perspectives, experiences and hopes for the future. Together, they offer a snapshot of how people are thinking about freedom, justice and the unfinished work of freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Raylene Ezike and son, Chinua Ezike\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12088268\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12088268 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1538\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-3-160x123.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-3-1536x1181.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raylene Ezike and son, Chinua Ezike. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“Repair means honoring the history and taking the time to learn the history and making a commitment not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” Raylene said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Chinua added: “Removing the barriers that were previously in people’s places to succeed in life particularly for younger people because they don’t have the same history and outlook on life and providing them with the same opportunities as everyone else so that they don’t have to have the same history of struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Maxwell Drati\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12088275\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12088275\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-15.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-15-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/20260619_Juneteenth_GC-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maxwell Drati. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Going beyond the money I want to see concentrated efforts by the government to repair the damage they’ve systemically done to our communities.

In July, she \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996234/sf-mayor-says-very-aggressive-encampment-sweeps-will-start-in-august\">vowed to more aggressively clear encampments beginning in August\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s crackdown follows the recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/homelessness-grants-pass-ruling-19484767.php\">U.S. Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> making it easier for cities to cite or even arrest unhoused people for sleeping on public property whether or not any alternative shelter is available. She has directed San Francisco city crews made up of police, emergency responders, social outreach workers and street cleaning workers to clear tent encampments throughout the city twice a day. Since the sweeps began, a federal judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999041/san-francisco-workers-clearing-homeless-encampments-need-better-training-judge-rules\">ruled the city must better train its workers\u003c/a> on how to handle unhoused people’s belongings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city has increased shelter capacity by more than 60% since 2018 and has added more housing units for formerly unhoused people, according to the mayor’s office. But San Francisco still \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/how-to-get-services/accessing-temporary-shelter/adult-temporary-shelter/shelter-reservation-waitlist/\">lacks enough temporary shelter\u003c/a> and permanent homes for people to move into off the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s photo team spent a series of days over the past two weeks documenting the sweeps and speaking with the people impacted by them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
