On Juneteenth, we honor the resilience and contributions of the Black community in the fight for justice From the establishment of the first cooperatives to the ongoing struggle for equitable housing, the Black community has been at the forefront of creating sustainable and empowering living environments. Their efforts have been instrumental in shaping the landscape of affordable housing. UHAB’s mission to empower low-income residents and ensure affordable housing is deeply connected to the fight for justice and equality that Juneteenth represents. We celebrate the strength and achievements of our community members who continue to overcome challenges and create positive change through member-led initiatives like HOPE and AHIFA. Join us in celebrating Juneteenth by supporting efforts to ensure affordable housing and community empowerment for all. ———————————————————————————————— More about Juneteenth: On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1, 1863, Major General George Granger read the first lines of General Order No. 3 to the people of Texas: "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor." This historic announcement marked a significant step towards freedom and equality, giving rise to the term "Juneteenth." Celebrated as a day of release, reflection, and reunion, Juneteenth became a symbol of hope and resilience. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Al Edwards, an African American legislator, Texas recognized Juneteenth as a state holiday on January 1, 1980, becoming the first state to do so. The movement gained national momentum, and on June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, officially making Juneteenth a federal holiday. This act was passed by both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, further cementing Juneteenth's place in American history as a day of celebration and remembrance.
