Juneteenth celebrates a hope-filled moment in U.S. history, and recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday increases opportunities for all children and families to access positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and the Four Building Blocks of HOPE. Juneteenth is also a reminder of the importance of imbedding anti-racism into our work and social lives. Racism blocks access to PCEs and is a source of trauma. When we intentionally practice anti-racism, we are lessening these barriers and opening access to the positive. HOPE is an inherently anti-racist practice, meaning that the framework cannot be fully implemented without practicing anti-racism. The HOPE National Resource Center (NRC) promotes anti-racism practice through the HOPE framework in several free resources.
