Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word of their freedom–more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It’s a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward justice, equality, and dignity for all. As we honor this important day, we stand in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters, celebrating resilience, heritage, and the enduring fight for freedom.
