Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today, we honor the significance of this day and recognize the contributions Black engineers, technologists, innovators, and leaders have made and continue to make in shaping our world.

As we reflect on both progress and opportunity, SWE remains committed to fostering a welcoming community where engineers and technologists can connect, grow, and thrive.
