The understanding and excitement of Juneteenth is growing at a phenomenal rate. Cities and States all across the U.S. and beyond are realizing the wonderful opportunity we have to come together in appreciation, reconciliation and commemoration. The federal holiday designation has undoubtedly enabled many more to honor and pay tribute to those whose shoulders we stand upon. This commemoration serves as a reminder of their enduring impact on our lives and society, cultivating a collective gratitude and recognition for their contributions and sacrifices.
The JUNETEENTH.com website provides a channel in which to connect and unite all whom share the vision of this celebration. Since its inception, nearly 30 years ago, the website has been a significant contributor to this growth and understanding of this historical period of our history. Through the efforts of those working at the grassroots level to those advocating at the state and national level, Juneteenth is now a federal holiday and is being celebrated in most, if not all, 50 states. The recognition and honor of Juneteenth extends even beyond our borders as expatriates, teachers, servicemen, and others have continued their celebrations as they serve in roles abroad.
We cherish their dedication, as well as every one of you, who see the wisdom and vision of an America that comes to terms with truth, acknowledges its mistakes, and commits to liberty and justice for all.
