Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day of profound significance for Black Americans and a moment to reflect on the journey toward freedom and equality. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their liberation—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the Black community. As a Black Canadian, I recognize the shared history and struggle against systemic racism that transcends borders. Juneteenth is not just an American holiday but a reminder of the global fight for justice and equity. Recognition of Juneteenth is vital, not only as a celebration of freedom but also as an acknowledgment of our ongoing challenges. Despite the progress made since June 19, 1865, we must be cautious and aware of the civil rights and anti-racism initiatives that are being rolled back. The fight for true equality and justice is far from over. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, essential for fostering inclusive environments, face significant challenges. This pushback underscores the need for continued vigilance and advocacy. A holiday and a designated month are not sufficient to rectify nearly 250 years of slavery and an additional 138 years of racial discrimination. The scars of this history run deep, affecting generations. However, honouring Juneteenth and acknowledging our collective past can inspire change and pave the way for a more just future. Let us use this day to recommit ourselves to dismantling systemic racism and promoting equity in all aspects of society. We must continue to advocate for policies that protect and uplift marginalized communities, ensuring that the progress we have fought so hard for is not eroded. Today, we celebrate freedom and resilience. We honour those who came before us and those who continue to fight for justice. Together, we can create a future where equality is not just an aspiration but a reality.  #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #DEI #Equality #Justice #HopeForTheFuture
