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

Today is Juneteenth, a significant day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, marking a crucial milestone in the nation's history. Juneteenth celebrates freedom and African American culture, with festivities including parades, music, and community gatherings. It serves as a reminder of resilience, the ongoing struggle for equality, and the importance of acknowledging and learning from our past. This day is not only a celebration but also a call to continue working towards a more just and inclusive society. Smoot Construction, as a minority-owned business, often honors the past that has paved the way for our more inclusive, and more expansive future to exist. Without those before us, we could never deliver today the experience we share with our clients, our partners, our team members and our friends. We will look to today, and every celebratory Juneteenth going forward, as an honor and homage to where we have been, and where we will go in the future. #juneteenth #MBE #blackownedbusiness #blackownedbusinesses #june19

Happy Juneteenth!!! Today, we commemorate a pivotal moment in American history—Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to deliver the news of freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day marks a profound moment of liberation and the beginning of a long journey toward equality and justice. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom, but a recognition of resilience, culture, and the enduring spirit of African American communities. It’s a day to honor the contributions, creativity, and strength of Black Americans throughout history and today. From the arts to sciences, from entrepreneurship to social justice, Black excellence continues to shape and inspire our nation. As we reflect on the significance of Juneteenth, let’s also commit to the ongoing work of promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in our workplaces and communities. Let’s learn, grow, and stand together to create a future where freedom and equality are truly universal. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #CulturalSignificance #Equality #Inclusion #BlackExcellence
