Juneteenth is a day to celebrate Black freedom, resilience, belonging, and hope, as it marks the day that ended the enslavement of Black people throughout the United States. Today, we can see how the inequities experienced by the Black community in the U.S. have been shaped by a long and systemic history of racial injustice and the extraction of labor from Black people. Despite our country’s painful legacy of racism, Black citizens have persisted and built thriving, vibrant communities. But there is still work to do—by all. In order to build a more just and equitable society, we must directly address these ongoing impacts through the systems, structures, and policies that have perpetuated such inequitable conditions and outcomes. As we celebrate and honor Juneteenth, let it also remind us that a new legacy is possible—and we all have a role to play in achieving it.

Today marks Juneteenth, a day to honor Black freedom, resilience, and culture. Let's reflect on our history, support Black communities, and strive for equality. Discover more about Juneteenth here: https://lnkd.in/g4EX_uUD

Today, on Juneteenth, we’re celebrating the importance of Black American culture and the liberation of African Americans from slavery on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth doesn’t just represent freedom, but equality and community as well. To this day, there are still racial disparities and environmental injustice within the energy industry.

As Black History Month concludes, it's crucial to recall that February serves as a time to celebrate Black culture, community, and the invaluable contributions of Black Americans to society. During this time, Fact Forward affirms our commitment to center Black voices and culture to provide culturally responsive evidence and practice-based approaches to adolescent sexual health. Centering Black communities in this work includes creating spaces that embrace cultural diversity and work to dismantle systemic racism. When we center Black culture and history in programming, we connect to the lived experiences of Black people, create equity, and honor equality in our work. We must continue amplifying and uplifting organizations that support Black public health practitioners, center Black voices in building community, and creating space for equity and social justice in public health.
