Today we pause to recognize Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history. Juneteenth is a federal holiday that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African American people in the United States. This day reminds us of the strides we've made toward equality and the ongoing work required to achieve true justice for all. #Juneteenth #DEIB #SirvaHuman #Relocation #GlobalMobility

As a former history teacher, I wish the day celebrated as the end of slavery was the ratification of the 13th amendment on December 6, 1865 that actually ended slavery. Would have been a school day so a teachable moment. Juneteenth was only relevant in Texas, which is why is was not well known in the rest of the country.
