Happy Juneteenth! To quote John Albuquerque, "Let's make Juneteenth a commemorative, not of the horrific institution our country embraced, but rather as a showcase of the strength in the American spirit to recognize wrong and set about making it right ... Let us celebrate all that Juneteenth teaches us about our country's greatness in our use of the heart to hear and to learn and to work together for all that is good and just."

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks a pivotal moment in American history. On June 19, 1865, over 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were finally freed, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day, also known as Freedom Day, is a reminder of the enduring struggle for justice and equality. As we celebrate, let us remember the significance of Juneteenth and its legacy of resilience and hope. Never forget the importance of this day and let us all continue to celebrate the progress that's been made. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g4EX_uUD

I like this quote I read about Juneteenth, "Juneteenth, the day we celebrate the end of slavery, the day we memorialize those who offered us hope for the future and the day when we renew our commitment to the struggle for freedom.”
