Today, we join the nation in commemorating Juneteenth, a day that marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrates the rich heritage and contributions of African American communities across the United States. This significant day serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality, justice, and unity.   What is Juneteenth? On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved individuals were free—over two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, has since become a time to reflect on the struggles, achievements, and cultural legacy of Black Americans.   Why We Celebrate: At Discover International, we believe in the power of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Juneteenth is not only a celebration of freedom but also an opportunity to acknowledge the resilience, creativity, and contributions of all cultures throughout history and in our present communities.   #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #DiversityAndInclusion #DiscoverInternationalCares
