Happy Juneteenth— a day to celebrate Black history, culture, arts, activism and empowerment. On June 16, 1865 news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Galveston, Texas, two years after President Lincoln issued the order which declared that "all persons held as slaves" were free.

Juneteenth reminds us that emancipation was just a start, and that the journey continues. This day offers us a moment for reflection and commitment to learning about the achievements of Black Americans. In solidarity, we pursue a world where everyone can thrive and flourish.
