Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the U.S. learned they were free—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth reminds us that the struggle for freedom can be long, requiring courage and persistence. It is a celebration that also cautions us not to take equality for granted, as even the greatest victories can be delayed too long for too many.

Please join us in honoring this holiday and this history by remembering and recommitting ourselves to civil rights and justice for all in our community.
