Today, we recognize Juneteenth.
A day that commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
Juneteenth serves as a reminder of the importance of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing work of building stronger communities.
We honor the significance of this day and the history it represents.
