As we gather to celebrate Juneteenth, we honor the day when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This historic moment on June 19, 1865, marked the end of a dark chapter in American history and the beginning of a new era of freedom and possibilities. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of those who fought for liberation and justice. It's also a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and the importance of standing united against all forms of oppression. Today, as we commemorate the end of slavery, we also celebrate the rich cultural heritage and significant contributions of African Americans to our society. Juneteenth is not just a day of remembrance, but a call to action for us to continue working towards a more inclusive and equitable future. Let's use this day to educate ourselves, uplift our communities, and honor the legacy of those who paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy today. Together, we can build a world where liberty and justice are truly for all. #justiceforall #junetheethcelebration

🌍 Today is Juneteenth! 🌍 As a woman of mixed American and Caribbean heritage, Juneteenth holds deep significance for me. It marks the day, June 19th, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. While the 13th Amendment officially ended slavery in December 1865, many freed people continued to face severe hardships and systemic injustices. It’s a celebration of liberation and resilience, reminding us of the ongoing journey towards justice and equality. Personally, it’s a time for me to honor my ancestors’ struggles and celebrate their spirit of perseverance. PS. I’m pictured here in Treme, one of the oldest African American neighborhoods in the US. This area is rich in cultural heritage and significance, embodying the spirit of resilience celebrated on Juneteenth. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in our workplaces and communities.
