Today we honor and commemorate #Juneteenth - the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Texas finally were informed of their freedom - two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
We are proud to celebrate #Juneteenth with our Black and African American families, friends, and community.
A day to celebrate. A day to reflect. A day to listen and learn. A day to recommit ourselves to the work we still have left to do. 🖤
