Today, we honor Juneteenth, a significant day in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that all enslaved people were free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a time for celebration, reflection, and education. It reminds us of the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history. As we commemorate this day, let's commit to promoting equality, justice, and unity in our communities.

Join us in celebrating Juneteenth by learning more about its history, supporting Black-owned businesses, and participating in local events. Together, we can honor the past and work towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
