As we commemorate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, or Liberation Day, we encourage everyone to embrace unity and continue to educate themselves on the history of Juneteenth. To celebrate, you can attend local events like the Juneteenth Freedom Celebration at the Anacostia Community Museum, visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture, or even plan a special gathering with friends to celebrate and acknowledge Juneteenth. Every day, Giant Food works towards creating an environment where everyone can grow, care, and belong.

On this #Juneteenth, it's important for those of us working in #internationaleducation and US #highereducation to recognize our responsibility to provide #students, including #internationalstudents, an understanding of the complexity of US #history. The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture has a great overview of the Juneteenth Holiday - the second independence day. It's a great starting point to educate yourself and others about the history of #emancipation and the struggle of enslaved peoples for #freedom. https://lnkd.in/e4dghvjh

Today we commemorate Juneteenth, the national holiday that marks the end of the worst era of our history, an era in which our country failed to live up to the ideals promised in the Declaration of Independence: “…that all [people] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Though we failed then, today God has graced us with a “do over.” We each can do our part to help our precious democratic experiment live up to her loftiest ideals. It is fitting, therefore, that Juneteenth is celebrated nearly two weeks to the day before the commemoration of our freedom and independence as a nation, allowing us simultaneously to mourn the past, celebrate the present, and commit to doing better in the future. So, the Office for Community Belonging invites you to join us this June 19th, Juneteenth, in reflecting upon how we can each build a stronger, even more inclusive community at Pepperdine and—as a result—a fairer and more inclusive world.
