🌟 Celebrating Juneteenth! 🌟 Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved individuals in Galveston, Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day reminds us of the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the Black community. As we celebrate, let's reflect on the progress made and recognize the work still needed to achieve true equality. It's a time for us to listen, learn, and act to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of our lives. In our NHC family, we are committed to fostering an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Today, we stand in solidarity, celebrating freedom, and renewing our commitment to justice and equality for all. Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll
