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

Divide & conquer by pitting groups against each other is an effective strategy for maintaining control. It protects the status quo. Non-Black POC against Blacks; Immigrants against Blacks; Blacks against Blacks (go figure!) The common denominator? anti-Blackness. Interesting article about how non-Black immigrants are complicit in the racial order - with Blacks on bottom. Sadly, there is widespread anti-Blackness. It’s why I’m not surprised to see Blacks over-represented at bottom levels in most organizations. I remain hopeful that true allies will come to learn the truth about American history and acknowledge the anti-Blackness that continues to exist so we can root it out. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” We are one house. Isn’t it time to unite? We can all win. #antiblackness #uncomfortabletruth #racismrunsdeep #history #allGodschildren

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

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a significant day in American history that marks the actual end of slavery in the United States. President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation in early 1863 - which declared all enslaved people now free. The 13th amendment, which officially amended the constitution to outlaw slavery, was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865. But it wasn't until June 19, 1865 that the final community of enslaved people were informed that they were free, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the new law—two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone; it’s a celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress. It's a reminder of the importance of understanding our country's history, honoring the people who fought to get us to where we are and looking ahead at the strives we still need to make when it comes to diversity and inclusion. Join us in celebrating this pivotal moment in history and continuing to build a more inclusive future for all. #juneteenth
