Today is Juneteenth. While it was only recently established as a federal holiday, its history dates back to June 19, 1865. It was on that date that the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced in the state of Texas, freeing more than 250,000 enslaved black people by executive decree. Long celebrated by the African American community as a second Independence Day, Juneteenth is an important milestone in our nation’s history. We turn our attention to it today because, at Spinutech, #GetBetterEveryDay is about personal as well as professional growth. To grow as a person, you need to expand your worldview to include the perspectives and experiences of the people around you and see the world more clearly through their eyes. It also means learning from the past so we can move forward together towards a better future. To that end, we are proud to make Juneteenth a company holiday at Spinutech, and we encourage you to learn more about this important day in our history: https://s.si.edu/3Hsbgja #Spinutech #Juneteenth
