This Juneteenth, our President & CEO Loria Yeadon reflects on the gap between a promise made and a promise kept, and on how that history shapes the Y's work today.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That gap is the heart of this holiday, and a reminder that freedom is rarely delivered all at once.

Read Loria's full op-ed, running this week in The Seattle Medium on the connection between Juneteenth, our 150 years of service, and collaborations such as Cinematique, which surrounds foster and underserved families with resources, supports, and a sense of belonging.
