Today we celebrate Juneteenth (June 19th), a day of reflection and rejoice as we honor those who paved the way for freedom. Juneteenth is considered one of the oldest continuing African American holidays, and it marked the first day that enslaved Black people in Texas experienced freedom. Juneteenth reminds us of the struggles Black communities have endured to rebuild their lives and claim their freedom as a right, not a privilege.
