Today, on Juneteenth, we commemorate the official end of slavery in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, news of freedom took over two years to reach my hometown of Galveston, Texas. This historical delay serves as a reminder of the systemic challenges faced by the Black community. While not widely known, Juneteenth is a day to recognize the immense resilience of Black Americans throughout history. It's also an opportunity to celebrate the significant progress made towards racial equality. However, the work for a truly just and equitable society continues. At #HIDGlobal we are committed to: Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and championing initiatives that promote racial equity. Let's use Juneteenth as a springboard for continued action. #bethechange #Juneteenth #socialresponsibility #diversityandinclusion
