Today, we honor and celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
As we celebrate this important day in our nation's history, we encourage everyone to reflect, learn, and recognize the contributions and achievements of Black Americans throughout our communities and country.
Happy Juneteenth!
