President Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth a federal holiday just hours before June 19th, the day it is commemorated. While this is a milestone of progress, there is an irony of this celebration of freedom happening on Father's Day weekend--as so many fathers are incarcerated and away from their children.
Pastor Kenny reflects on his own experience being away from his children for fourteen years while he was incarcerated and how his journey in founding TOPS (The Ordinary People Society) with his children at his side when he was released. His daughter also shares her experience of being away from her dad and then working with him to empower other disenfranchised people.
