Juneteenth was first celebrated in 1865 to commemorate the freeing of the last enslaved African Americans. Since then, the Black community has continued to face inequality as they've worked toward positive change. Today, we’re beginning to see a world that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. But there's always more we can do. So, let’s keep pressing forward and pushing toward equality for all. #farmbuffalo #juneteenth2024 #blackhistory #freedomforall #happyjuneteenth

More than 150 years after the first #Juneteenth, we’re still fighting for true equality for Black people to have the same freedoms and opportunities afforded them like their fellow Americans. To institute and influence real change, it’s important we acknowledge what mistakes we must avoid again and commit to not repeating those horrible missteps. We should all seek to galvanize the desire for a community of true equality and inclusion for everyone. We need to ensure that voices are heard and action is implemented to nurture a culture of inclusivity and racial equity. The most important part of all this is to be accountable and truly commit to the often-times uncomfortable conversations to elicit authentic dialogue and change. Recognized as this country’s second #IndependenceDay, Juneteenth has left an indelible impact on our nation’s complicated history. For many Americans, it’s the birth of our modern country and the inauguration of the concept of absolute liberty and justice ALL. #Juneteenth #DEI&B #Inclusion #EqualityForAll Glenda CottleLakeydra HoustonDan Allinger, PCC, MNLP #3PT
