Happy Juneteenth!

❤️🖤💚 Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, truth, and the enduring fight for liberation.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. Juneteenth stands as both a celebration and a reminder: freedom delayed is still freedom demanded.

For Dr. Maya Angelou, freedom was never simply political; it was spiritual, intellectual, and deeply personal. It was the freedom to speak, to write, to remember, and to rise.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Juneteenth reminds us that storytelling itself is liberation. Literacy is liberation. Truth is liberation.

As efforts to ban books and silence Black history continue, we are reminded that the fight for freedom includes the freedom to read, to learn, and to tell our stories fully.

“We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated.”

Today, we honor the ancestors who endured, the voices who persisted, and the generations still rising.

What does freedom mean to you? ❤️✨

Researchers aren’t often viewed as “changemakers.” But without their ability to ask new questions, reframe issues, collect new data and statistics, and publicize fresh ways of looking at the world, activists, policymakers, and private sector leaders would not have been able to make the kind of progress they have in the last 50 years.

The women interviewed as part of our oral history project "We Do Declare: Women’s Voices on Independence," reveal the important role research has played in changing our understanding of what held back women’s economic independence and what in laid the groundwork for real progress. Together, these women and their colleagues transformed our understanding of women’s roles in the economy, past and present. https://s.si.edu/3RM6ear

You don't have to travel to Greece to experience its culture. In Tarpon Springs, Florida, Greek traditions are a part of daily life, with local restaurants serving souvlaki and baklava, and sea sponge shops tracing their roots to the industry that first drew Greek immigrants to the area.
