"Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the independence of enslaved African Americans. This day is inclusive, recognizing that true independence for all Americans came only with the end of slavery. As an inclusive organization, ARCA acknowledges the full history of our nation. While July 4, 1776, marked the nation's independence, Juneteenth celebrates the moment when African Americans were no longer legally held as property but were recognized as citizens. Let's honor Juneteenth by amplifying Black voices, supporting Black-owned businesses, and continuing the fight for equality and justice for all. We encourage everyone to support Black-owned businesses not just today, but every day. WashU has compiled a list of local Black-owned businesses to support, which you can find here: WashU's List of St. Louis Black-Owned Businesses. https://lnkd.in/gjfUAC4f Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #BlackLivesMatter"
