  • As we commemorate Juneteenth, we reflect on a pivotal moment in American history—the day when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom on June 19, 1865. This day marks the culmination of centuries of struggle, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of justice and equality. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom; it is a profound reminder of the enduring fight against systemic racism and the ongoing journey toward true liberation for all marginalized communities. As counselors committed to social justice, this day resonates deeply with our mission and values. Let us honor this day by reaffirming our commitment to dismantling oppressive systems and advocating for equity and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We must amplify the voices of the unheard, educate ourselves and others about the historical and contemporary realities of racial injustice, and actively engage in practices that promote healing and empowerment within our communities. We can influence positive change as counselors, educators, supervisors, students, and advocates. Let us use this platform to support and uplift those who continue to be impacted by racial disparities. Together, we can foster environments where every individual is valued and respected. On this Juneteenth, may we find inspiration in the resilience of those who came before us and the courage to continue their legacy. Let us celebrate freedom while committing to the remaining work, ensuring that future generations experience a world rooted in justice and equality.
