Happy Juneteenth everyone! Today we celebrate, June 19, 1865, the day that Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. Only declared a federal holiday three years ago - but none the less, I am grateful for the holiday to reflect, learn, and celebrate Black culture. Below I have linked to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History & Culture, if you want to learn a little bit- I particularly enjoyed the digital tool kit :) This got me thinking about what's my part. How can I be apart of celebrating the holiday, but also paying homage to the horrific actions of the past ? One of the ways that I work to break down barriers that continue to exist in preventing the socioeconomic ability to break generational cycles of poverty, as a result of racially fueled policy since the early days of this country is through improved and enhanced transportation. Breaking down barriers between communities through created and enhanced transportation systems, simply put, gets people where they need to go when they need to get there. That means access to school, employment, family -whatever you need it to be. Working to further conversations and implementation for / around transit initiatives, means we can provide enhanced access to economically stressed communities and cities - which we know POC tend to be among those usually the most impacted in these areas. So today, I hope that everyone can take a moment and think about what lies within your passions that help you to break barriers and create change? And if you aren't sure, join along and ALWAYS support transit initiatives 🙂 #juneteenth #breakingbarriers #strongcommunities #createchange #transportation #mobility #bethechange #economicdevelopment

I have been in San Francisco before but never had an opportunity to break away and explore the city. Seeing Alcatraz Island was pretty cool, so here is a short history post and picture I took yesterday with our great friends. Alcatraz Island, often just called "The Rock," holds a unique place in American history. Situated in the chilly waters of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz is best known as the site of the infamous federal prison that once housed some of America’s most notorious criminals from 1934 to 1963. However, its history extends far beyond that. Before becoming a prison, Alcatraz was first developed with a lighthouse, then a military fortification, and finally a military prison. It became a symbol of isolation, due to its cold, strong currents and the proximity to the bustling life of San Francisco, visible yet unattainable for the prisoners confined on the island. Post-1963, Alcatraz has transformed yet again, becoming a popular historic site. Managed by the National Park Service, it draws over a million visitors each year who come to explore its rich and multifaceted history. Alcatraz reminds us of the evolution of justice and correction in America and stands as a testament to those who lived and worked there - each layer of its history offering insights into different eras.

Each year, September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, when we honour the Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities, and the children who never returned home. Recognition of this tragic and painful history and reflection on its lasting impacts are an important part of the reconciliation process. But the advancement of reconciliation requires much more than an annual day of observance. Ongoing collaboration will not only bring greater prosperity and quality of life to Indigenous communities, but also it will bring greater understanding of the history and perspectives of Indigenous people, build greater trust, and advance the process of reconciliation.

Memorial Day is a time for remembrance, reflection, and coming together as a community to honor the extraordinary individuals who have protected our freedoms. It is because of our heroes that we have the opportunity to pursue our dreams, raise our families, and create memories in the safety and comfort of our homes. Their sacrifices remind us of the value of our communities and the deep sense of gratitude we hold for those who have served. Let us take a moment to remember the fallen, honor their courage, and express our gratitude for the liberties we enjoy. May their sacrifice always be remembered, and may we strive to create a world that embodies the values they fought to protect. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day, filled with reflection and unity. . . . #todaroandeichler #eichlerandtodaro #howardhannarealestate #howardhannarealtorteam #topproducingteam #howardhannahomes #greengoldsold #hhsoldmine #experienceandteamworkmatter #realtorlife #teamwork #listing #buying #selling #forsale #property #investments #realestate #homesforsale
