Freedom First Recognizes Juneteenth National Independence Day

Today Freedom First celebrates Juneteenth, the oldest known commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. It is an acknowledgment of grief, a call for equality, and a celebration of the rich and diverse cultures of Black and African-American communities throughout the nation. Earlier this week, President Biden signed legislation officially declaring June 19th to be a federal holiday.

We'd like to recognize Juneteenth as a day to celebrate, further educate ourselves, and connect with our communities as we work together to build more equitable futures. Stay tuned to learn more about how Freedom First is supporting local initiatives to uplift and celebrate the Black and African-American communities we serve.
