I want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing that the Civil War had ended and all enslaved African Americans were finally free. This momentous day marked the effective end of slavery in the United States, two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It's a testament to the resilience and strength of the African American community, who endured centuries of oppression and fought tirelessly for their freedom. Working in HR, I'm reminded of the importance of creating a workplace culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
