Observing Juneteenth: What does this mean? 👇 On June 19th, 1865, the Union Army announced that over 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state of Texas were free by executive decree. Among those freed, the day became known as Juneteenth. We will be observing the Juneteenth federal holiday, also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day. . . . #juneteenth #juneteenth2024 #celebratefreedom #smallbusinessowners #faithbasedbusiness

ISG, along with the entire United States Department of Defense, recognizes June 19, 2024 as Juneteenth National Independence Day, the commemoration and recognition of the end of African American slavery in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation had officially freed enslaved people more than two years prior, it wasn’t until the end of the Civil War that Union troops had the full strength to enforce General Order No. 3 in the once Confederate states, such as Texas. When U.S. Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, after the U.S. Civil War to issue General Order No. 3 and secure the Union Army's authority over Texas, he spoke not just of freedom but "an absolute equality of personal rights" for all former slaves. The emancipation of enslaved Black Americans was not the end of our work to deliver on the promise of equality — it was only the beginning. On Juneteenth, we recommit to our shared work to ensure racial justice, equity, and equality in America. #DSCA #ISG #DSCU #securitycooperation #departmentofdefense #juneteenth #juneteenth2024
