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

What is Juneteenth? Also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Celebrated on June 19th each year, this day commemorates when Union Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, announcing the end of slavery—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. The celebration of Juneteenth began in Galveston, Texas in the 1860s. Today, it is honored throughout the United States. On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the “Juneteenth National Independence Day Act,” officially designating it a national holiday. At Day Pitney, we honor Juneteenth by reaffirming our commitment to justice, equality, and the promotion of diversity within our community and the legal profession. #Juneteenth #EmancipationDay #FreedomDay #Equality #Justice #Diversity

Juneteenth: A Day of Reflection & Action 🤝🏽 📌Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States.This pivotal moment serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality. 📣Never Forget: The same individuals who dismiss Juneteenth as history also support criminalizing women’s healthcare, banning DEI initiatives, whitewashing slavery, imposing book bans, suppressing voters, normalizing hate speech, and denying systemic inequities. 🗣️However, I believe people can change. As Opal Lee, the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," eloquently stated, "If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love." 🇺🇸Let's continue to actively work towards a more just and equitable future. To those who speak out against hate and fight for equality, you are the true patriots. You inspire us all. #juneteenth #freedomday #civilrights #dei #quote #democracy #history #EqualityForAll #stophate #endracism

Today we celebrate Juneteenth! While Juneteenth is a day of celebration, we also acknowledge how freedom and justice in the US has been hindered for Black people. Juneteenth came two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (1863) that technically freed slaves. More than two years would pass until freedom reached Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 to ensure all enslaved people be free. With this, we also recognize Juneteenth is not just a historical event; it’s a reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice. It’s a call to action to continue the work of those who came before us, ensuring that freedom and opportunity are truly accessible to all. Its relevance today is as important as ever. #juneteenth #celebration #freedom #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #equality #justice #calltoaction

Happy #Juneteenth! 🇺🇸 This important holiday marks the day in 1865 when enslaved Texans were finally freed- 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. But as the data shows, black women with disabilities still face unacceptably high unemployment (17.5%) and workplace discrimination (35-40%) rates compared to the general disability community. Additionally, estimates suggest the rate of workplace discrimination against black men with disabilities may be around 32-35%, which is significantly higher than the 25% national average for persons with disabilities. We at #SpeerheadBeyond are committed to fighting for true freedom and equal opportunity for all. On this Juneteenth, let's recommit ourselves to dismantling systemic barriers and building a more just, inclusive world where everyone can thrive. #EmploymentEquity #DisabilityInclusion #BlackDisabledLivesMatter
