We commemorate Juneteenth today!

in 1865, over 250,000 formerly enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas, were freed when US Army troops arrived two years after the Emancipation Proclamation to enforce their freedom. The end of slavery was now in effect throughout the country. We celebrate Juneteenth as a reminder of the resilience, unity, and endurance in the pursuit of equality and justice for all.
