Celebrating Juneteenth: Living Into a Message of Freedom for All

June 19, 1865, is a day that forever changed the United States. Widely known as Juneteenth (a clever combination of the words “June” and the “nineteenth”), this historic day marks the beginning of our nation’s journey of becoming a more perfect union in which we value life and liberty, justice and equality. Celebrating Juneteenth is not just about commemorating a moment in history but about living into a message of freedom for all.
