We are proud to acknowledge Juneteenth! A day to celebrate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce General Order No. 3, which proclaimed the end of slavery in the state. Juneteenth is a day to reflect on the long history of slavery in the United States, and the ongoing fight for racial equality. It is also a day to celebrate Black culture and achievement. #Juneteenth #BlackFreedom #CelebrateFreedom
