On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, honor the resilience of African American people, and reflect on what it means to live in communities that prioritize individual rights, freedom of speech and equality. 

While we celebrate American independence on the Fourth of July, it's important to remember that the Declaration of Independence did not ensure freedom for all Americans. Specifically, millions of Black Americans remained enslaved for nearly another century. 

The Emancipation Proclamation, effective in 1863, marked a significant milestone, but true freedom came later on June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Texas to free the last enslaved people. 

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. This year, we celebrate its fourth anniversary as a recognized federal holiday. As we work towards fostering a community where diversity is embraced, we are proud to recognize Juneteenth as a pivotal moment in the pursuit of liberty for all.
