    On Saturday June 19th, 2021 in honor of the U.S. Senate passage of the Juneteenth National Independence Act, the Atlantis School For Gifted Youngsters in collaboration with Canada's Niagara Parks and Niagara Falls Illumination Board will be lighting up the Falls in honor of Juneteenth, which is also known as Emancipation Day.

   At 9pm, 10pm and 11pm EST the Falls will be illuminated red, black and green in the colors of the Black Liberation flag; the Pan-African flag for black people across the diaspora and in Africa. The above Atlantis School For Gifted Youngsters animation episode "What is Juneteenth?" will also be shared on the Niagara Parks website/social media which teaches the history and significance of this federal holiday.

   This collaborative effort between the Atlantis School For Gifted Youngsters, Canada's Niagara Parks and Niagara Falls Illumination Board to honor Juneteenth is in its the second year and speaks to the cross-border commitment to raise awareness about the plight of people of African descent and our cultural visibility in the U.S. and Canada.
