Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom, Inclusion and Reflection Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the abolition of slavery, implementing the Emancipation Proclamation. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 186f3, but the news took over two years to reach Texas due to communication delays. Today, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate progress and honor the resilience of our past. It’s a moment for self-reflection: What more can we do to dismantle racism, promote inclusion, and ensure true liberty for all? Let’s continue learning, engaging, and working toward a more inclusive society. #Juneteenth #JuneteethCelebrations #blackhistory #humanrights #antiracism #inclusion

Happy Juneteenth, everyone! Juneteenth, officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, is celebrated on June 19 to mark the end of slavery in the United States. On this day in 1865, Major General Gordon Granger enforced the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, freeing the last enslaved people in the Confederacy. Complete abolition followed with the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865. This day is a time to reflect on the progress and accomplishments of the Black community. While there is still much work to be done, Juneteenth reminds us that a brighter future is within our reach. Let's continue to support each other and create spaces where racial barriers and systemic racism can be dismantled. This day is especially meaningful as a reminder of our ability to overcome. The legacy of slavery still impacts aspects of life today, and we must challenge our personal biases and internalized racism to break down the barriers that persist. #Juneteenth #Freedom #Equality #BlackCommunity #Progress

Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 NAWBO SA stands proudly in celebration of African-American freedom and raises awareness about the vital importance of inclusive business practices and racial equality. Juneteenth marks a significant milestone in American history, symbolizing the end of slavery. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, delivering the news that all enslaved individuals were finally free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Although Juneteenth has been celebrated for generations, it wasn't until 2021 that it became a federally recognized holiday. It is also referred to as Emancipation Day, Day of Jubilee, Freedom Day, Black Independence Day, and our Country's Second Independence. Juneteenth encompasses more than the abolition of slavery; it is a testament to resilience, faith, and triumph over adversity. As we honor this historic day, let us continue to advocate for equality, justice, and the empowerment of all. NAWBO-SA stands united in support of a more inclusive and equitable future. #NAWBOSA #Juneteenth2024
