Juneteenth holds significant historical and cultural importance in the United States. It marks the day when Union General Gordon Granger's announcement in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, effectively freed the last enslaved individuals in the Confederate states, nearly two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This delay in freedom reaching Texas symbolizes both the challenges of communication during that era and the profound impact of slavery on African American communities. Recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021 underscores its importance in American history and acknowledges the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all citizens.#Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #CelebrationOfResilience

It's been more than 150 years since the abolishment of slavery, yet just 10 years ago, the last reported enslaved African American, Mae Louise Walls Miller, passed away. Slavery is not distant history -- it's a recent reality with generational impact. Celebrate #Juneteenth today but remember, our work is far from over. We need intentional interventions to not only level the playing field, but also address discriminatory systems, policies, and practices in the workplace. We discussed some best practices from the legal perspective during last week's Brave Lil' Convos. Check out takeaways here: https://lnkd.in/gTYzt9ng And read more about Mae Louise Walls Miller here: https://lnkd.in/gTiDEEch #Juneteenth #WednesdayWisdom #Equality #SocialJustice #Diversity #Inclusion #AffirmativeAction #Mentorship #Empowerment #ColorfulConnections #diversity #equity #inclusion #diversityandinclusion #Diversityatwork #Belonging #DiversityMatters

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and progress towards equity 🎉 On this day in 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Texas finally received the news of their emancipation—a profound moment. While Juneteenth marks a pivotal step in the abolition of slavery, it reminds us that the journey toward true equity and inclusion is ongoing. As we commemorate this historic milestone, let's also reflect on the DEI work that still lies ahead. Dismantling systemic barriers, fostering inclusive spaces, and amplifying underrepresented voices must continue to be priorities. Only through continued awareness, education, and collective action can we create a society where everyone experiences genuine freedom and belonging. #Juneteenth #JuneteenthDay #FreedomDay #EmbracingEquity #DEIProgress #DissmantlingBarriers #AmplifyingVoices #InclusionMatters #ProgressTogether #DEIJourney #EquityForAll #Inclusive #UnityInDiversity #SocialProgress #JusticeForAll #BreakingChains #EqualityMovement
