Happy Juneteenth! On Juneteenth, we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and reflect on the ongoing struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the freedom of all enslaved people. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. As we observe Juneteenth, it is crucial to remember that until we are all free, no one is truly free. The pursuit of liberty and equality is a collective effort, and we must continue to stand together against all forms of oppression and discrimination. Today, let's celebrate progress, educate ourselves and others, and commit to a more inclusive and just society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EqualityForAll

Did you know Juneteenth began on June 19, 1865 when Major General Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas. It is said by many to be our country's second independence day. So why is this important to us all? Opal Lee, the grandmother of Juneteenth said: "Freedom, freedom, freedom for everybody! I don't want people to think that celebrating freedom via Juneteenth is just about a Black holiday or just a Texas holiday. It's about knowing that we all have a stake in making this the best country in the world." Pictured are Juneteenth celebrations across the nation since its inception 159 years ago.
