Today, we join the nation in commemorating Juneteenth, a day that marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrates the rich heritage and contributions of African American communities across the United States. This significant day serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality, justice, and unity.   What is Juneteenth? On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved individuals were free—over two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, has since become a time to reflect on the struggles, achievements, and cultural legacy of Black Americans.   Why We Celebrate: At Discover International, we believe in the power of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Juneteenth is not only a celebration of freedom but also an opportunity to acknowledge the resilience, creativity, and contributions of all cultures throughout history and in our present communities.   #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #DiversityAndInclusion #DiscoverInternationalCares

Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of those who fought for liberation and justice. It's also a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and the importance of standing united against all forms of oppression. Today, as we commemorate the end of slavery, we also celebrate the rich cultural heritage and significant contributions of African Americans to our society. Juneteenth is not just a day of remembrance, but a call to action for us to continue working towards a more inclusive and equitable future.

To quote the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture's excellent Juneteenth website: "On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Abraham Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas with news of freedom. More than 250,000 African Americans embraced freedom by executive decree in what became known as Juneteenth or Freedom Day. With the principles of self-determination, citizenship, and democracy magnifying their hopes and dreams, those Texans held fast to the promise of true liberty for all." "In 2021, Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday, opening it to symbolic and global interpretation and providing a better understanding of the evolution of our nation and its people. Juneteenth celebrations then, like now, recognize the ongoing fight for human rights and equality and are commemorated through family cookouts, faith services, musical performances and storytelling. Today, Juneteenth celebrates African American resilience and achievement while aiding in the preservation of those historical narratives that promoted racial and personal advancement since Freedom Day." #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #Freedom #Justice #PoweringPossible
