On Juneteenth, we remember a defining moment in American history: June 19, 1865, when the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation was ordered and announcement of emancipation reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. It is a time to reflect on the long journey toward freedom and equality.
We honor the significance of this day with humility and respect, recognizing the resilience and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history.
