Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, culture, and community.
Juneteenth is both a celebration and a reminder. A celebration of the strength, contributions, and achievements of Black Americans, and a reminder that the work of creating a more just and equitable society continues.
As healthcare providers, community members, and neighbors, we all have a role to play in building spaces where people feel respected, valued, and supported.
Today is an opportunity to reflect, learn, celebrate, and honor the generations whose courage and perseverance helped shape the world we live in today.
