Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that freedom is both a historic milestone and an ongoing journey. On June 19, 1865, the final enforcement of emancipation reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas marking a moment of delayed justice, resilience, and hope that continues to shape our understanding of equity today.

As we reflect, we honor the past while recognizing the work still ahead to build a more just and inclusive future.

Juneteenth es un poderoso recordatorio de que la libertad es tanto un logro histórico como una lucha continua. El 19 de junio de 1865, la emancipación fue finalmente aplicada para los afroamericanos esclavizados en Galveston, Texas, marcando un momento de justicia tardía, resiliencia y esperanza que continúa dando forma a nuestra comprensión de la equidad en la actualidad.

Al reflexionar sobre esta fecha, honramos el pasado mientras reconocemos el trabajo que aún queda por hacer para construir un futuro más justo e inclusivo.
