Today, we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as an important reminder of our nation's ongoing journey toward freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.

As a Chamber of Commerce, we believe strong communities and vibrant economies are built when every individual has the opportunity to succeed, contribute, and thrive. We join our members, partners, and communities in reflecting on the significance of this day and honoring the diverse voices, histories, and contributions that strengthen our region.

Happy Juneteenth.
