Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.

Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Let us continue to learn, grow, and work together toward a future rooted in equality, opportunity, and justice for all.
