Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed, after the end of the Civil War, and two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Today we're commemorating #Juneteenth. Let's celebrate as a community and reflect on what this day means to us and the importance of freedom for all! ❤️
