Traveling with Denella Ri'chard, the 2023 award-winning television travel show, is thrilled to announce its co-production partnership with The GreenBook Experience to produce the first-ever Juneteenth one-hour television special. The nationally syndicated television show will air in 60 U.S. markets, including Seattle (NBC), Orlando (ABC), Philadelphia (MNT), Washington D.C. (IND), Houston (C.W.), Boston (MNT), Detroit (C.W.), Miami (C.W.) and New Orleans (CBS) reaching an audience of 36 million U.S. television households. The television special will also be available streaming on-demand on GoTraveler and GFNTV.
The one-hour special will air throughout June in honor of the federal holiday, Juneteenth. Ri'chard stated, "Juneteenth is a federal holiday many Americans are still learning about. This was a great opportunity to not only recognize Galveston, TX, where it all began, but also to showcase two remarkable destinations: Jackson, Mississippi, and Beaufort, South Carolina, which have a rich history and culture that remind us why it's important to recognize Freedom Day (Juneteenth). These destinations are also perfect places for everyone to visit as they make their summer vacation plans."
"We are incredibly excited to partner with Traveling With Denella Ri'chard for this One-Hour Juneteenth Television Special, said Karin Aaron, CEO of The GreenBook Experience. It was the perfect collaboration opportunity to bring our expertise in storytelling and highlighting cultural heritage sites and destinations. Our in-depth knowledge of historically significant locations and their cultural significance enhances the authenticity and educational value of the episode."
The Juneteenth one-hour television special will take viewers on an immersive journey through the rich heritage and vibrant communities of Jackson, Mississippi, and Beaufort, South Carolina. These cities have played pivotal roles in American history and Black history, from slavery to civil rights and modern times. This special will shed light on the struggles, triumphs, and resilience of African Americans in these destinations. The episode will feature iconic landmarks, historical sites, cultural events, and personal narratives that reflect the diverse tapestry of these destinations. It will highlight the contributions of the local communities, the significance of Juneteenth, and the ongoing journey toward equality.
