Happy Juneteenth!! ❤️🖤💚

Juneteenth is more than a holiday.

It is a celebration of freedom, resilience, joy, and the enduring spirit of Black Americans.

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that more than 250,000 enslaved people were free. That day became known as Juneteenth and has been celebrated ever since as a milestone in the ongoing journey toward freedom and liberation.

Today, we honor the generations who resisted, dreamed, created, built community, and expanded the promise of freedom. We celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans and the legacy of hope that Juneteenth represents.

We encourage you to learn, reflect, and celebrate with the National Museum of African American History & Culture. Explore their Juneteenth resources at the link in the comments.

The Rev. Carole Yorke will lead the service, “Fathering, Power, and the Promise of Partnership.” We gather today on Father's Day; a day that holds joy, grief, absence and complexity for many in this room. Let’s look at fatherhood not as a fixed role, but as an evolving relationship, shaped by history, feminism, and by the political winds of this very moment.
