Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth reminds us of both the progress made and the work that remains.
As the Merchantville Diversity Committee, we are committed to fostering a community where all residents feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Today, we celebrate freedom, reflect on our shared history, and reaffirm our commitment to inclusion for all.
