🌟 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.

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.

On June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery in the United States. This historic day commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and informed the enslaved African Americans of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It symbolizes the final liberation of those who were enslaved in the most remote parts of the Confederacy. Juneteenth is not only a reflection of past. It is an opportunity for us to learn about this crucial chapter in history, honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom, and celebrate African American culture, resilience, and contributions to society. For us at the Law Office of Bhavleen Sabharwal, P.C., Juneteenth is a reminder of the strides made in the fight for civil rights and the work that remains in achieving racial equality. It underscores our commitment to justice and the continuous effort to end systemic racism. #Juneteenth

"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"
