Juneteenth

This is a day to celebrate the emancipation of slaves in the United States, the victories of the Civil Rights movement, and the march towards a more perfect union. This also is a day to reflect on the evils of racism, to denounce bigotry in all its forms, and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for equality, both in the workplace and in our communities.
