Today, on Juneteenth 2020, we celebrate freedom and the significant directional change our country made in 1862 when African American enslaved people in the US were declared free under the terms of the Emancipation Proclamation! Now more than ever we need to continue to make positive changes and take action to empower all people in our society. Please join us in celebrating freedom today and look for ways within your own community to help achieve true equality and progress.
