On this day of Juneteenth, we would like to take the time to recognize the racial injustices that have been occurring for generations. It is time for us all to stand up and speak out for equality and justice. It is time for us to listen and offer our presence to hear the pain of the oppressed.
The legacy of Juneteenth shows the power of Black Americans’ perseverance, strength, resilience, and refusal to give up hope, even in the most difficult and painful times. and we are proud to officially celebrate Juneteenth for the first time as a federally-recognized holiday.
