Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring Freedom and Reflecting on Progress Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved African Americans were informed of their freedom on June 19, 1865. This day, now a federal holiday, is more than just a historical milestone; it represents resilience, hope, and the ongoing quest for equality. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the moment when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, proclaiming the end of slavery. This occurred more than two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, underscoring the slow and painful path to freedom. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor the strength and perseverance of those who endured and fought against the atrocity of slavery. It’s a time to reflect on our shared history, recognizing both the progress made and the work still required to achieve true equality. Today, Juneteenth serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and acknowledging our past. It’s a day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and support the ongoing fight against systemic racism and injustice. At CNJ Associates, we are committed to promoting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth is a step toward honoring the diverse experiences and contributions of our colleagues and community members. Let’s take this day to celebrate freedom, educate ourselves, and renew our commitment to equality and justice for all. Happy Juneteenth! #CnjAssociates #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion
