Today, we commemorate Juneteenth. A powerful reminder of both the pain of our nation’s past and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality. On this day in 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas.
Juneteenth is a celebration of Black resilience, liberation, and culture, and a call to continue the work of building a more just and equitable future. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay
