On Juneteenth it is important to reflect on where we have been and what still needs to be done.
On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. while recognizing the ongoing fight for true equality. Although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in 1863, it took over two years for that news to reach the last remaining enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. While we've made progress, systemic racism persists. At Griesing Mazzeo Law, we stand against all forms of oppression and injustice. As a women-owned firm, promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal rights is central to our mission. We wish everyone a reflective Juneteenth as we continue marching towards true liberation. #juneteenth

Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom, Inclusion and Reflection Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the abolition of slavery, implementing the Emancipation Proclamation. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 186f3, but the news took over two years to reach Texas due to communication delays. Today, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate progress and honor the resilience of our past. It’s a moment for self-reflection: What more can we do to dismantle racism, promote inclusion, and ensure true liberty for all? Let’s continue learning, engaging, and working toward a more inclusive society. #Juneteenth #JuneteethCelebrations #blackhistory #humanrights #antiracism #inclusion
