Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice. ❤️🖤💚
Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas finally learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At UMB, we are guided by our core values of Equity and Justice, Respect and Integrity, Well-Being and Sustainability, and Innovation and Discovery.
As we reflect on the significance of this day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive community where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
We encourage our UMB community to take time to learn, reflect, celebrate, and engage in meaningful conversations that help move us forward together.
