The one-hour special will air throughout June in honor of the federal holiday, Juneteenth. Ri'chard stated, "Juneteenth is a federal holiday many Americans are still learning about. This was a great opportunity to not only recognize Galveston, TX, where it all began, but also to showcase two remarkable destinations: Jackson, Mississippi, and Beaufort, South Carolina, which have a rich history and culture that remind us why it's important to recognize Freedom Day (Juneteenth). These destinations are also perfect places for everyone to visit as they make their summer vacation plans."
"We are incredibly excited to partner with Traveling With Denella Ri'chard for this One-Hour Juneteenth Television Special, said Karin Aaron, CEO of The GreenBook Experience. It was the perfect collaboration opportunity to bring our expertise in storytelling and highlighting cultural heritage sites and destinations. Our in-depth knowledge of historically significant locations and their cultural significance enhances the authenticity and educational value of the episode."
