Legacy Foundation Japan would like to welcome our global community to observe Juneteenth on June 19th, 2021! Juneteenth is known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, and Jubilee Day. It commemorates the ending of slavery in America, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed to abolish slavery. The holiday was mostly celebrated in Texas and regions familiar with the anniversary. Juneteenth has grown recently to be recognized nationally and globally as African Americans continue to fight for rights and liberty.
Legacy Foundation Japan wants to celebrate the greatest fathers and father figures in our community on Sunday, June 20th!
Soul food is traditional African American cooking that originated from the Southern United States. Often known as “down-home”, “southern cooking”, or “comfort food”, soul food is an integral part of Black food culture and often evokes strong feelings of home, family, and togetherness (healthline.com). Meals often include collard greens, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, black eyed peas, ham hocks, cornbread, gumbo, candied yams, sweet potato pie, and peach cobbler.
There has been a lot of misinformation about the relationship between African Americans and Japanese. We will have renowned scholar and author Dr. Reginald Kearney lead a discussion about the historical relationship from his life’s research, career, and published books, “The Twentieth Century Japanese: African American Views of the Japanese” and “Reconcilable Differences: Issues in African American-Japanese Relations”.
September 5th is Legacy Foundation Japan’s Founder’s Day, where we show appreciation to our founding members, volunteers, and those who’ve made LFJ possible. Despite the numerous challenges of 2020, a group of like-minded, hard-working people came together to build a community where members of the diaspora could thrive in Japan. Come revel and reflect with us as we celebrate the members who started it all.
