Happy Juneteenth! On June 19, 1865, an estimated 250,000 enslaved African-Americans in Texas were told that they were free. A century and a half later, we are proud to recognize Juneteenth as a day of celebration, education, and connection. Let's honor the resilience, strength and achievements of Black communities. May this day serve as a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice, equality and freedom for all! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay
