Juneteenth marks the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
On this date we commemorate freedom, resilience, progress, and the enduring strength of Black communities.
As we reflect on the significance of this day, we also recognize the importance of protecting and using our voices. Voting is one of the many ways we continue the work of those who fought for freedom, equality, and civil rights.
Let us continue to honor the past by staying informed, engaged, and committed to building a more equitable future for generations to come.
Happy Juneteenth. ✊🏾❤️🖤💚
