Juneteenth Commemoration, Duval County, TX

As we reflect on Juneteenth, we honor the moment on June 19th, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas were finally informed of their freedom. In Duval County, where our community is predominantly Hispanic, Juneteenth also invites us to reflect on our own history.
The lessons of this day call upon all of us, regardless of race and ethnicity, to stand together, celebrate the contributions of diverse communities, and to build a future where every person is treated with respect and afforded equal opportunity.
May this Juneteenth be a day of remembrance, reflection, unity and hope.
