On June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery in the United States. This historic day commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and informed the enslaved African Americans of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It symbolizes the final liberation of those who were enslaved in the most remote parts of the Confederacy. Juneteenth is not only a reflection of past. It is an opportunity for us to learn about this crucial chapter in history, honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom, and celebrate African American culture, resilience, and contributions to society. For us at the Law Office of Bhavleen Sabharwal, P.C., Juneteenth is a reminder of the strides made in the fight for civil rights and the work that remains in achieving racial equality. It underscores our commitment to justice and the continuous effort to end systemic racism. #Juneteenth
