  <title><![CDATA[What Is Black Joy, and How Is It Connected to Juneteenth?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.lmc.gatech.edu/people/person/andre-brock">Andr&eacute; Brock</a>, associate professor of media studies in the <a href="https://www.lmc.gatech.edu/">School of Literature, Media, and Communication</a>, was quoted in the article &quot;What Is Black Joy, and How Is It Connected to Juneteenth?&quot; by&nbsp;<em>Everyday Health</em>&nbsp;on June 16.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An excerpt:&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;Juneteenth is a moment of joy,&rdquo; says Brock. &ldquo;Yes, it&#39;s celebrating a moment where we found out we were free, but since then, it&#39;s also become &mdash; depending on which neighborhood or city you live in &mdash; it&rsquo;s a picnic, it&#39;s a DJ, it&#39;s kids doing games and contests. It&#39;s cookouts and everything else. It&#39;s not simply breaking the chains every time we get together on Juneteenth. It&#39;s the celebration of us as a community.&rdquo;</p>
