The Detroit News covered our "Resist: Juneteenth 2025" events over the weekend. Please read an extended excerpt from the story. Read the full version here.
This year, Michigan United's annual Juneteenth celebrations will be marked by a "Week of Resistance" around Metro Detroit to denounce President Donald Trump's actions against immigration, health care as well as diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives nationwide.
Michigan United is a statewide organization of churches, labor and community groups dedicated to democracy and ensuring the protection of civil rights. Each year, members gather to celebrate Juneteenth, a commemoration of the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 declared enslaved people in the Confederate states free.
In place of the typical atmosphere of celebration the holiday carries all across the country, community members are gathering to oppose "Trump administration’s unprecedented attacks on civil rights," Michigan United organizers said Friday.
"This is to show people they can rise up," said Micah Whittaker, Michigan United's community engagement director. "This is our time to celebrate something bigger than us."
We thank the Detroit News for the nice words.
