STAX JUNETEENTH PLAYLIST

Juneteenth commemorates the June 19, 1865 date when slaves in Galveston, Texas, were notified, 2 years after the Emancipation Proclaimation, that they were free. Here is a special playlist for this day, featuring powerful songs from legendary soul, blues, gospel and R&B artists, including Stax icons like The Staple Singers, Bettye Crutcher, Eddie Floyd, Johnnie Taylor, and more. Let's take action every day to fight for equality for all.
