🇺🇸 Honoring Juneteenth 🇺🇸
Today, Casas Adobes Elks Lodge #2663 joins communities across our nation in commemorating Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States.
On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed enslaved African Americans that they were free. This historic moment became known as Juneteenth, a day of celebration, reflection, and remembrance.
As Elks, we are guided by the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. Juneteenth provides an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s journey toward freedom and equality while honoring the resilience, contributions, and achievements of African Americans throughout our history.
We encourage our members and their families to take a moment today to learn about the significance of Juneteenth, celebrate the blessings of liberty, and continue fostering understanding, respect, and unity within our communities.
Happy Juneteenth from your friends at Casas Adobes Elks Lodge #2663.
