The Google Doodle commemorating Juneteenth posted this week, along with the standard links to related holiday content. Oddly enough, JUNETEENTH.com—a website dedicated to the event—does not appear among the top results when searching for Juneteenth.
Regardless, one can’t help but wonder how many Chief Diversity Officers at White advertising agencies will present company-wide emails, blog posts, and lunchtime talks this month, explaining the holiday to culturally clueless Caucasian staffers. Indeed, developing the performative PR will likely require conducting Google searches for information, insight, and inspiration.
It’s also a safe bet that Adland will pay waaay less attention to Juneteenth than Pride Month. Or Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Or Flag Day. Or Global Wind Day.
