#Juneteenth isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s a powerful echo of resilience reverberating through history. On this day in 1865, news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas, the farthest part of the Confederacy. Their joy marked the end of slavery in the United States. While Juneteenth celebrates hard-won freedom, it’s also a reminder of the long road to true equality. The legacy of slavery continues to shape our society, and the fight for racial justice is far from over. This Juneteenth, let’s honor the strength and perseverance of African Americans. Here are a few ways we can engage: 📚 Unearth the Past - Delve into the rich history of Juneteenth. Explore the stories of resilience, resistance, and the enduring spirit of Black communities. 💪🏼 Empower the Present - Support Black-owned businesses, celebrate Black art and culture, and amplify Black voices. 🔎 Embrace the Future - Educate ourselves and others about racial injustices. Advocate for policies that dismantle systemic barriers. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the progress made, but it’s also a call to action. Let’s commit to building a future where the promise of freedom rings true for all.

This #Juneteenth, we honor those who fought to abolish slavery and continue our fight for freedom while celebrating the Black community’s rich and diverse history. Juneteenth marks when enslaved Black Americans in Texas were notified of their freedom in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. Today, systemic racism, targeted misinformation, and racial injustice continue to challenge true Black liberation. So, on Juneteenth, as our collective works to fight for justice, let’s recommit to our fight for Black freedom. We’re not free until we’re ALL free.
