Also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day, Juneteenth marks the moment in 1865 when more than 250,000 Black Americans in Texas finally learned they were free—more than two years after emancipation had legally been declared. While Juneetenth is celebrated today, it is also a vivid reminder that progress does not always reach everyone equally, and that the work of building a more just and equitable community continues. At We Care, that commitment is reflected in our efforts to remove barriers, create opportunities, and ensure that every child and family is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Today and every day, We Care honors and celebrates the Black children, families, staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters who strengthen our community.
