Juneteenth is a celebration of the power of knowledge, marking the day when the echoes of freedom finally reached those who had long been denied it. It reminds us that the quest for liberty is an ongoing journey, demanding constant vigilance and a steadfast commitment to justice. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let's renew our pledge to fight against systemic racism, eliminate inequality, and build a society where everyone feels included. Why Juneteenth Matters to Afro-Latinos and ALPFA: For our Afro-Latino community, Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience and a recognition of the shared history and struggles faced by Black and Afro-Latino people. It’s a day to honor the contributions and cultures that enrich diverse heritages. ALPFA's mission is to empower and develop Latino leaders. Recognizing Juneteenth is another way we aim to foster an inclusive environment where all facets of identity are celebrated.
