Reflecting on the profound impact of Juneteenth, it’s crucial to recognize that slavery's legacy extends beyond the denial of equal pay; it fundamentally denied the right to inclusivity. #Inclusivity means more than #representation; it means breaking down systemic barriers that have long marginalized foreign scholars and other underrepresented groups. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let’s commit to fostering a truly inclusive academic and professional environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #Juneteenth #Inclusivity #Equality #Diversity #AcademicCommunity #InternationalScholars
