🌟 Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring Freedom and Empowerment 🌟 Today, we join the nation in celebrating Juneteenth, a day of profound historical significance commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved African Americans were now free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we have made toward equality and justice, as well as a call to action to continue the fight against systemic racism and oppression. At Urban Infraconstruction, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where every individual feels valued and empowered to succeed. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us reflect on our shared history, amplify Black voices, and work together to create a future where freedom and equality are enjoyed by all. #Juneteenth #Freedom #Equality #DiversityandInclusion #Empowerment

On June 19, 1865, Union troops announced the end of slavery in Texas, marking the final liberation of enslaved African Americans in the USA. Today, we commemorate the end of slavery and celebrate the resilience of Black communities, reflecting on their enduring spirit in the face of oppression and their invaluable contributions to shaping our nation's history. Young American actress and activist Yara Shahidi reminds us, "Instead of inheriting a broken system, we have the power to change it.” As we honor this struggle for liberation and continue the fight against injustice, Shahidi's words resonate deeply, urging us to recognize our responsibility in reshaping the structures perpetuating inequality. At EPI, we believe in universal respect for mankind, and on Juneteenth we recommit ourselves to the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice for all, amplifying marginalized voices and fostering inclusive communities where everyone can thrive regardless of race, gender, or background. Let's honor this day in celebration and action, ensuring that the promise of freedom and equality extends to all.

Today the United States celebrates Juneteenth. This 159-year observance recognizes the announcement by Union troops in the western most Confederate state of Texas that enslaved Black people in this territory were free by executive decree. While Juneteenth celebrations come together in recognition of what’s known as America’s second Independence Day, we want to highlight the importance of community. Without strong interpersonal relationships, fostered connection, and teamwork, we cannot achieve the crucial work that needs to be done to achieve racial equity, justice, and well-being. ETR is closed today for this observance, but when we get back to work, we will continue to fight for our vision—a world where all individuals and communities achieve their best health. On this day, take some time to learn more about Juneteenth from the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

A little bit of interesting history for you today June 19th, 1865, when Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, confirming the war's end and ensuring the freedom of all enslaved individuals. Though the Emancipation Proclamation was a beacon of hope in 1863, it took over two years for its promises to be realised in Texas, the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. As we commemorate this pivotal moment in history, let's reflect on the journey towards equality and justice. The resilience and courage of those freed on Juneteenth continue to inspire. Let's honour their legacy by fostering inclusivity and championing diversity in our workplaces and communities. Yet, as we celebrate progress, let us also acknowledge the road ahead. The pursuit of justice is ongoing, and we must commit ourselves to creating a future where opportunity and freedom are not just ideals but realities for all.

Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 NAWBO SA stands proudly in celebration of African-American freedom and raises awareness about the vital importance of inclusive business practices and racial equality. Juneteenth marks a significant milestone in American history, symbolizing the end of slavery. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, delivering the news that all enslaved individuals were finally free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Although Juneteenth has been celebrated for generations, it wasn't until 2021 that it became a federally recognized holiday. It is also referred to as Emancipation Day, Day of Jubilee, Freedom Day, Black Independence Day, and our Country's Second Independence. Juneteenth encompasses more than the abolition of slavery; it is a testament to resilience, faith, and triumph over adversity. As we honor this historic day, let us continue to advocate for equality, justice, and the empowerment of all. NAWBO-SA stands united in support of a more inclusive and equitable future. #NAWBOSA #Juneteenth2024
