Today, the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington joins our community in recognizing Juneteenth, commemorating June 19, 1865, when news of freedom reached the last enslaved people in the United States.
We take time to recognize this important moment in our nation's history and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans that continue to strengthen our communities and enrich our shared experience.
At the Y, we remain committed to creating welcoming spaces where everyone can learn, grow, and belong.
Wishing our community a meaningful Juneteenth. β€οΈππ€
