Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute’s Post

At Moody Neuro, we believe in celebrating and honoring a variety of cultures and their histories that shape our community. This Juneteenth, we join the nation in recognizing the significance of June 19th, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.   Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks the anniversary of General Gordon Granger's announcement in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas. This announcement came almost two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been issued during the civil war by President Abraham Lincoln. Texans went on to organize the first of what became the annual celebration of “Jubilee Day” on June 19, 1866. We recognize Juneteenth’s historical significance as a reminder of the struggle for freedom and equality. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize that our strength lies in our diversity and that by embracing and honoring each other's culture and history we create a more compassionate and resilient community.   Together, we can recognize the past, celebrate the present, and work towards a better future for each other and those we are afforded the honor to heal. #juneteenth #moodyneuro #breakthroughsinbraininjury
