Today, we honor and celebrate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history. 🎉✨ On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the freedom of all enslaved people in Texas. This momentous day came two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which had officially outlawed slavery in the Confederate States on January 1, 1863. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, stands as a powerful reminder of the resilience, struggle, and enduring spirit of African Americans. It marks the end of one chapter of American history and the beginning of a continuous journey towards equality and justice. As we reflect on this day, let's commit to fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, we can ensure that the spirit of Juneteenth endures, inspiring us to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all. 🌍✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 \#Juneteenth \#FreedomDay \#EmancipationDay \#History \#Inclusion \#Equity \#Diversity

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally/internationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas, a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society. General Order Number 3 One of General Granger’s first orders of business was to read to the people of Texas, General Order Number 3 which began most significantly with: "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer." General Gordon Granger, June 19th 1865 in Galveston, Texas

Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future On June 19th, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marked the end of slavery in the United States. This day holds immense significance as it represents the long-awaited realization of freedom, justice, and human dignity for millions of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of emancipation; it is a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and perseverance of the African American community. It is a testament to the unwavering pursuit of liberty and the unbreakable spirit of those who endured unimaginable hardships in the face of oppression. As we reflect on this historic occasion, we must acknowledge the profound impact slavery has had on our nation's past and present. The scars of this dark chapter in our history run deep, and the fight for true equality and racial justice continues to this day. However, Juneteenth also serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. It is a call to action for all of us to embrace diversity, promote inclusivity, and stand united against discrimination in all its forms. On this Juneteenth, let us honor the sacrifices and struggles of those who came before us by recommitting ourselves to creating a more just and equitable society. Let us celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the African American community, which have enriched the tapestry of our nation. Together, we can build a future where every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background, has the opportunity to thrive and pursue their dreams without fear or prejudice. Let us embrace the values of unity, compassion, and mutual understanding, for it is through these shared principles that we can create a more inclusive and prosperous world for all.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, recognizes the right to freedom of enslaved people and those who weren't freed on January 1, 1863—when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to abolish slavery. Juneteenth is a play on words between June and nineteenth. In a great injustice, 250,000 people in Texas were enslaved for two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger entered Galveston, Texas. He announced that enslaved people were free and that the Civil War was over. We celebrate Juneteenth and its song for freedom and justice! We call to dismantle institutionalized racism and its imposed barriers to the health and well-being of Black, Afro-Latino, and other people of color. We celebrate the contributions of African Americans toward equity, dignity, and health for all of our communities. Read this article to learn more about Juneteenth https://bit.ly/3VyF19q
