Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history and the long and painful era of enslavement. Though the Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1, 1863, ostensibly freeing those enslaved in Confederate States, Juneteenth marks the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reaching the most distant corners of Confederate territory with Union troops arriving in Galveston Bay, Texas on June 19, 1865. Meanwhile, the Thirteenth Amendment would still be necessary to end slavery throughout the United States. Juneteenth is a celebration of #emancipation, #resilience, and the enduring spirit of the African American community. It's a day to reflect on the progress made and the work still needed to achieve true #equality and #justice in all aspects of life, including healthcare. We honor this day at PACE Healthcare Capital and reaffirm our commitment to invest in solutions that promote health equity and better ensure quality healthcare for all. Together, we can build a more inclusive and just healthcare system.

Join us today in celebrating the Bill of Rights!! The Bill of Rights embodies a core American strength: the capacity for compromise and self-improvement. By codifying fundamental freedoms, it won over States skeptical of a Federal Government at the time of our founding and proved our Constitution to be a living document. From The American Presidency Project, Proclamation 10323—Bill of Rights Day, 2021: “Opportunities to improve our Constitution have been contemplated since its inception. On December 15, 1791, three-fourths of the existing State legislatures ratified the first 10 Amendments of the Constitution—the Bill of Rights. These Amendments protect some of the most indispensable rights and liberties that define us as Americans. Though we have often struggled to live up to the promises they contain, 230 years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms remains at the center of our democracy." The Bill of Rights is important not only in the freedoms it protects but in its demonstration of America's enduring commitment to self-improvement and striving to continuously form our "more perfect union." Since 1791, 17 additional Amendments have been ratified for a total of 27 Amendments to the Constitution. #BillOfRightsDay2023 #Heritage #Legacy #OneGuard

🎉 Let's take a moment to honor the day that marked a turning point in American history. Juneteenth, short for June Nineteenth, signifies the day in 1865 when federal troops marched into Galveston, Texas, ensuring that all enslaved individuals were freed, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day isn't just a date in history; it's a celebration of freedom, a reminder of the journey towards equality, and an observance of the resilience and spirit of the African American community. Juneteenth stands as the oldest known commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S., now recognized across the nation as a federal holiday. From Texas being the first state to declare Juneteenth a state holiday in 1979 to it becoming a symbol of freedom and equality nationwide, let's honor this day by reflecting on our collective past and looking forward to a future of unity and progress. ✊🏾 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #CelebrateJuneteenth #AmericanHistory #FederalHoliday

🎇 Happy Independence Day! As we gather to celebrate our nation’s founding, let’s reflect on a core question: What makes America truly great? 🤔💡 #July4th #IndependenceDay On this day in 1776, our founders embarked on a bold experiment in democracy by declaring all people are created equal. This principle has guided us as a nation through more than two centuries of change. It’s a reminder that our strength comes from our commitment to freedom—for everyone. 🗽📜 Consider the early patriots, who dared to imagine a free America where every voice could be heard. From the abolitionists to the suffragettes to civil rights heroes, every generation has champions who have pushed us closer to fulfilling that original promise of liberty and justice for all. Isn’t that the heart of patriotism? ❤️ This July 4th, let’s honor our nation not just by looking back, but by looking forward. Let’s commit to ensuring that freedom and justice are not just ideals, but realities for all. As we enjoy today’s celebrations, let’s also ask ourselves: How can we contribute to making America live up to its highest ideals? 🌟🚀 #4thOfJuly #AmericanPride #FreedomAndJustice

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in response to the atrocities committed during World War II. This landmark global pledge outlined for the first time fundamental human rights to be universally protected, regardless of race, nationality, sex, religion, or any other status. It was the first international treaty to recognize the inherent dignity and worth of all human beings, and it is the most translated document in the world. Today, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! #HumanRightsDay #HumanRights75

'I am with everyone around the world who is fearlessly standing up for their rights & the rights of others.' Get to know UN Human Rights Chief, Volker Türk, who grew up in Austria after WWII and has been working to increase the respect of human rights around the world ever since. His message? 'Never stop striving for a better world. Never stop believing in human rights. They're our roadmap to peace, freedom & prosperity.' #Act4RightsNow @globalcitizen

Today, on the 4th of July, we reflect on the significance of Independence Day for America. It stands as a symbol of liberty, justice, and freedom, echoing the values enshrined in the American Declaration of Independence. This day holds profound meaning in the context of decolonization from the colonial British tyranny, marking a pivotal moment in history that shaped the course of nations around the world. #BostonTeaParty #SonsOfLiberty Their simple intolerable acts of "throwing the tea into Boston Harbor" demanding "no taxation without representation" ushered a new era in this new world. Beyond that, I believe the Independence Day of America prompts us to contemplate the essence of scientific temperament, reason, and working on bias of all forms. During the past one decade stay (11+ yrs now) in this country as an immigrant, I found majority of these ideals are still alive and working well most of the time. Those values I have learned over time helped me as well to evolve as an individual and as a professional. There are moments of exceptions and deviations. That is a normal discourse of human society and civilizations. That's why, the occasion of the 4th of July serves as a reminder of the principles that underpin a free society, advocating for critical thinking, equality, and the pursuit of truth. As we celebrate, let us honor the ideals that define us and strive to uphold the legacy of freedom and democracy. 🇺🇸 #IndependenceDay #Freedom #Liberty #Justice #DeclarationOfIndependence
