Written by Tariq on June 7, 2022
A children’s museum is apologizing after a social media user pointed out that its Juneteenth menu perpetuated stereotypes about Black people. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis posted about its special “Juneteenth Jamboree” to celebrate the federal holiday that commemorates the emancipation of slaves. Shortly after, a user, Jonelle Slaughter, posted a comment that included a photo of the museum’s “Juneteenth Watermelon Salad.”
