Day two of Juneteenth events is about to take off.  While we continue to celebrate the Holiday and attend Black Lives Matter demonstrations, remember there are additional ways that you can contribute to the movement.  Bushwick Daily Contributor Matt Fink said it plainly: support your local Black-owned businesses.
