Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news of freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Let’s honor this day and reflect on the progress, acknowledge the work ahead, and celebrate the Black community’s strength, creativity, and resilience.

We each play a role in fostering inclusion and justice in our communities.

Together, let’s honor the day’s history and recommit to learning, growing, and taking action toward a better future for everyone.
