On Juneteenth it is important to reflect on where we have been and what still needs to be done.
On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. while recognizing the ongoing fight for true equality. Although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in 1863, it took over two years for that news to reach the last remaining enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. While we've made progress, systemic racism persists. At Griesing Mazzeo Law, we stand against all forms of oppression and injustice. As a women-owned firm, promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal rights is central to our mission. We wish everyone a reflective Juneteenth as we continue marching towards true liberation. #juneteenth

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. We must continue to work towards breaking down barriers and promoting opportunities for all individuals to thrive. As we celebrate Juneteenth today, I want to acknowledge the sacrifices and struggles of those who came before us. I also want to recognize the ongoing work that needs to be done to create a more just and equitable society. In our organization, we're committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We're working to increase diversity in our hiring practices, provide training on unconscious bias and microaggressions, and create spaces for open dialogue and feedback. Let's celebrate Juneteenth by honoring the past and looking towards a brighter future. Let's work together to build a world where freedom and equality are not just ideals, but a reality for all. #Juneteenth #Emancipation #Freedom #DiversityAndInclusion #Equality #Resilience
