Weekly Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Awareness Conversations

On June 19, 1865 over 2,000 American soldiers arrived in Texas to proclaim freedom to all enslaved Black Americans. This announcement came six months after the 13th Amendment was ratified and more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day became known as Juneteenth. Celebration of this moment in American history rises through the evolution of racism like a root bursting though concrete. Juneteenth celebrates the love and joy that seep through the cracks of subjugation. Over 200,000 enslaved Black Americans were brought to Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Owner/CEOs moved operations to Texas with the intention to maintain the economic relationship with those they had enslaved. Juneteenth is a recognition of intentions that produce disparity. In that way, it serves as an analytical tool, or a looking-glass. Through the Juneteenth looking-glass, we are able to see the pomp and circumstance of intergenerational trauma and subjugation.
