Today is Juneteenth. A celebration of freedom. It commemorates the end of slavery. It was on this day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, when the state’s enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom; over two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Let the significance of today inspire us all to build a more equitable and just world. #juneteenth2024

It's never too early to be thinking about #Juneteenth and how your organization can meaningfully observe the holiday. I shared some ideas and best practices on the Equity At Work blog:

KSM is closed today in honor of Juneteenth. Two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, with news of freedom for those still enslaved. Today, we reflect on history and celebrate freedom for all. Learn more about #Juneteeth at https://hubs.ly/Q02CfTxd0

Juneteenth is observed annually on June 19th, marking the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, when they announced the end of slavery. This proclamation, coming two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, was delayed due to Texas's isolation and resistance. Beginning in Texas, Juneteenth has since become a nationwide celebration honoring freedom, reflecting on African American history, and promoting equality and justice. I'm sharing this post to contribute to awareness and understanding.Apologies for the delayed post on June 22nd 😊#Juneteenth#I! love History#

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, which marks a pivotal moment in American history. Juneteenth symbolizes freedom and the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19th, 1865, Union Army general Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom for slaves in Texas nearly 2 ½ years after the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. At Pacolet, we continue to educate ourselves, support each other, and work towards a future where diversity, equity, and inclusion are valued and upheld.

Imagine a world without the freedom we have today! I personally still believe we have a long way to go, but we have already achieved some important steps in our history. Acknowledging that "Juneteenth is not just Black history; it is American history" is part of our overall journey to reach and experience a true and genuine sense of belonging. Join us today in recognizing Juneteenth's importance and challenge the status quo wherever we can to reach equal treatment for all. #FreedomDay #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #EmancipationDay

The markets are closed today in honor of Juneteenth. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
