On this day, we honor the historic moment in 1865 when the news of freedom finally reached enslaved Black Americans in Texas, almost two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Recognized as a federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth is a time to unite and celebrate African American culture and art. Join us today in reflecting on our shared history and embracing the beauty of diversity. #Juneteenth #BelongatBaptistHealth

This February, let's unite in honoring the profound impact of African Americans on our nation's fabric. Beyond remembrance, Black History Month is a celebration of resilience, innovation, and an unyielding spirit that defines our shared history. This year's theme, "African Americans and the Arts," shines a light on their impactful contributions to visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. Today, we pay homage not only to the pioneers in the arts but also to those who moved the civil rights movement forward through their artistic expressions. Over the course of the month, we will be sharing content that revolves around this year's theme, focusing specifically on the contributions and achievements of Black artists. Let's celebrate the vibrant creativity that has not only enriched our culture but played a pivotal role in advancing civil rights. Reflect on the strides made, acknowledge the work still ahead, and together, let's shape a future that embraces diversity and equality. #BlackHistoryMonth #ArtsAndActivism #CivilRightsPioneers (Feed generated with FetchRSS)
