Today is Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. on June 19, 1865. But 155 years after that milestone, we still have many miles to go before we achieve racial equality — and that's just as true in the food world. There are changes that need to be made, both on an individual and a systemic level, and food luminaries JJ Johnson, Cornelia Poku and Michael Twitty shared three moving interviews that shed light on how it can be done. Give them a read! ‌ We're also just one day away from the first day of summer, which unofficially marks the beginning of iced coffee season. So keep reading below for a big refresh — for your drink and your perspective. ‌ XO, Kristen
