Major League Soccer teams have taken to social media to show solidarity for Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. The messages have largely come at full-team training with a collective knee and raised fist for Black Lives Matter.
Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth.
It’s a time to listen, learn and reflect.
We asked players what today to means them – and how we can create a better tomorrow. Here is what they shared: fccincy.com/conversation
