When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1.
Nancy Rogers
talks about how she first heard of Juneteenth when she
moved out to Oakland, CA from her small town in Arkansas where she
was raised in a black community, pretty sheltered as a child from
Jim Crow laws by her parents. Juneteenth was introduced to her as
the day freedom began for Blacks and is a festival that originated
when Union troops under Major General Gordon Granger landed at
Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1895 and announced the end of the Civil
War, the surrender of General Robert E. Lee, and that the slaves
were emancipated, 2 1/2 years after President Lincoln made his
famous Proclamation that was made law. Juneteenth began to be
celebrated in Santa Rosa 50 years ago under the leadership of
Marteal Perry, aka Mother Perry, an evangelist, cosmetologist and
beautician in Santa Rosa. Last
year's show on Juneteenth we featured Mother Perry's
granddaughter Syndi Davenport reminiscing about her. Nancy and
her husband Harold Rogers eventually rose to become chief organizers
for the Santa Rosa festival at Martin Luther King, jr, Park in
Southwest Santa Rosa by the fairgrounds, and it has become a family
picnic with live entertainment open to all. This year the
celebration was done by Zoom internet video meeting because of
the COVID-19 precautions, and Nancy was the MC. The Sonoma
County Juneteenth Committee has a website with the program that was
presented. One of the presenters was Dr. Kim D. Hester Williams, a
professor of literature at Sonoma State University, whom was
interviewed a couple of
weeks ago on Women's Spaces .
About our Guest: Nancy Rogers is the chair of the
Juneteenth Festival that has been happening at the Martin Luther
King jr Park in Southpark Santa Rosa for the last 50 years. She is a
board member of the black Orem and Black Chamber of Commerce and
President of Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, a nonprofit organization
that provides scholarships for young people of color, and co-owner,
Red Rose Catering with her husband Harold Rogers. She is a
mother, a grandmother and a great neighbor.
2. Eshawn Zuniga was tasked this
year to be the Zoom Master for the Sonoma County MLK/Juneteenth
Festival. Her expertise in developing websites and videos for
businesses came to the fore as she mastered this new online venue.
She shares the challenges she met in preparation for Juneteenth,
plus gives tips for aspiring Zoom masters. Eshawn also talks about
the mentoring from her godmother who remembered hard times under Jim
Crow in Louisiana and Mississippi, and reminded her of the
sacrifices of people marching for her civil and voting rights.
Eshawn's natural parents immigrated from the Caribbean, where there
was also slavery, and Eshwawn is a first generation American.
About our Guest: Eshawn Zuniga is a motivated
person that enjoys using her creativity to assist individuals and
small businesses. She has developed and maintained websites over the
past 20 years. As web development changes, she constantly updates
her skills to keep up with the latest tools available to assist her
clients. She also worked in with a local public access station and
various local organizations to produce and air their programs.
Learning along the way how to complete multi-camera shots, interview
and edit video. Eshawn enjoys helping others to “get the word out”
about their business, whether via the web or through video. Her most
recent event was directing the Sonoma County Juneteenth 50th Annual
Festival on a Zoom meeting last Saturday.
