Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration marking June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At The Boston Club, we recognize Juneteenth as an opportunity to celebrate Black history, culture, and contributions, while recommitting ourselves to advancing inclusion, connection, and impact in our communities and workplaces.
To learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth, we encourage you to explore resources from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/moments/juneteenth
