While fireworks, barbecues, and parades are fundamental to our 4th of July celebrations, the spirit of Independence Day runs much deeper.
A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
This historic day commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, and it’s more relevant now than ever as we strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do. Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th each year, marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, bringing the news of freedom to the last remaining enslaved African Americans.
