2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, many enslaved African Americans still were not informed of their freedom. On June 19th, 1865, known today as Juneteenth, Union Army Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas with 2,000 federal troops. He issued General Order No. 3, which announced the freedom of more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas. This day symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and is also known as "Freedom Day," "Emancipation Day," and "Juneteenth National Independence Day." Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the journey toward freedom and equality and to acknowledge the progress made while recognizing the work that still lies ahead. It is a day to celebrate African American culture, resilience, and contributions to our society. As we honor Juneteenth, let’s commit to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can build a future that upholds the values of justice, equality, and freedom for all.

On June 19, 1865, freedom finally came for the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas. That day, the Army arrived to enforce what had already been the law of the land for two and a half years — the Emancipation Proclamation. African Americans have a complicated and painful history in this country. We have managed to piece together a culture but often find ourselves dealing with the expected social, psychological, and economic residuals of a long traumatic period. Often these residuals are poorly understood by those who did not experience the horrors of slavery and the discrimination that followed. These residuals are often poorly addressed even by those who experience it in their daily lives. Juneteenth is an opportunity for Americans to learn what freedom actually means to African Americans in the past and present. While freedom in the physical sense is important and celebrated, freedom as compared to many of our fellow citizens requires continued healing to address the effects of a brutal past. AAWCP is here to help facilitate just that in our industry. We connect, we teach, we learn, we support, and we encourage our members and supporters to move forward together. Together we will turn pain into positivity! #Juneteenth #AAWCP #diversityequityinclusionbelonging
