Juneteenth isn't just a holiday. It's a call to action—a reminder that freedom has always required more than a declaration. It requires the work. The open door. The program that sees you. The community that stays. This year, we're honoring that legacy by celebrating Levar, Deani, and Demareya, Larkin Street Academy's 2026 Valedictorians. Three Black young people who showed up, did the work, and stood at that podium to say: we're still here, and we're just getting started. Swipe to meet them. 🎓 #Juneteenth #BlackExcellence #Community
