As we observe Juneteenth, we reflect on the end of slavery, celebrate African American heritage and achievements, and lift up the ongoing call to address historical inequities in pursuit of justice and equality. Education is a powerful tool in this journey, and scholarships are essential in making higher education accessible to African American students. Let’s honor the legacy of Juneteenth by continuing to invest in the future of African American students. #Juneteenth #AfricanAmericanHeritage #Scholarships #EducationalEquity #Inclusion
