Join us in celebrating Juneteenth - a day of freedom and reflection, and the ongoing pursuit of equality. ❤️💛

Today, we honor freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

This day, now recognized as Juneteenth, powerfully reminds us of the delayed but enduring promise of freedom in America.

As we reflect on the struggles and triumphs of those who came before us, we recommit to building a more just and equitable future for all. ❤️💛
