On June 19th, our doors will be closed in observance of Juneteenth, a day that holds profound historical significance. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the moment on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. This announcement came more than two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, highlighting the enduring struggle for freedom and justice. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of African Americans in the face of oppression. It is a day to celebrate the hard-won freedom of the past, reflect on the ongoing journey towards equality, and recognize the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. By closing our doors, we honor this pivotal moment and encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, and engage in conversations about the meaning of freedom and the importance of striving for a just and equitable society. As we observe this day, let us remember the sacrifices made and the enduring hope for a future where liberty and justice are realities for all. Normal operations will resume on June 20th. Let's celebrate this month of Freedom together, and there is no day that is more fitting than Juneteenth. #GetYourlegalAction #TheLawFirmofDouglasGJackson #Juneteenth #Reflection

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, a holiday that celebrates the day upon which the abolition of enslaved people in the United States was truly realized, opposed to legislated. While the Emancipation Declaration legally freed enslaved Black Americans on January 1863, it was not until June 1865 that abolition was enforced across the entirety of the nation and thus freedom came to all Americans. The day serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles Black people have faced and still face in the pursuit of equity and justice. In its commemoration, we can strive toward a world where freedom and justice are an equitable right for all. Here at JSA we strive to create an inclusive workplace culture and Juneteenth offers us a broader opportunity to reflect on larger issues of equity and justice that affect our global workforce. Let’s take a moment today to remember and honor the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought and still fight for their rights and dignity. #juneteenth2024 #freedomday #aviation
