On Monday, June 20th (observed day for Juneteenth) PANY commemorates the celebration of Juneteenth!

Becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth National Independence Day, a.k.a. Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day, June 19th has been celebrated as a day of African American liberation from slavery. After a quarter of a millennium of chattel slavery, the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery did not reach full enforcement by Union troops within the Confederacy until June 1865, when emancipation, 2.5 years later, finally reached the last Confederate state of Texas freeing those who were still enslaved.

Our community joins the nation and with all those of the African diaspora in observing this day of profound significance. Joyful, yet painful, we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States, but we also acknowledge the ongoing work necessary in order to ensure that freedom, equality, and justice prevail and are protected for all.

During these difficult times, faculty and students at PANY have worked hard to keep going. PANY has continued its educational and admissions activities during the Coronavirus pandemic - including classes and case supervision for our students as well as video interviews for applicants to our training programs - via Zoom and other video and audio platforms. PANY will continue its classes when the new academic year starts in September, 2022. We have not yet decided if classes then will be via video or in-person.

As psychoanalysts, we believe in the importance of our work, in some ways especially so during these stressful times; and as hardy New Yorkers, we are committed to maintaining our presence as educators, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists for the New York City community.
