This historic day commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, and it’s more relevant now than ever as we strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do. Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th each year, marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, bringing the news of freedom to the last remaining enslaved African Americans. It’s a poignant reminder of both the injustices of the past and the ongoing journey towards equality.
We believe in honoring this day not just with words, but with meaningful action. Supporting Juneteenth is about acknowledging our history, celebrating the contributions of African Americans to our society, and reaffirming our commitment to creating a workplace and a community where everyone feels valued and respected.
