Today, we recognize the last enslaved African Americans who learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It serves as a strong reminder of resilience and justice.

At the BBB, we believe trust and fairness are the foundation of strong communities, and we remain committed to supporting ethical businesses that create opportunity for all.
