On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to deliver news that should have arrived years prior. Major General Gordon Granger read General Order No. 3, officially enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation and signaling freedom for the last enslaved African Americans in the United States, two and a half years after the proclamation was originally signed.
Juneteenth, also celebrated as Jubilee Day or Freedom Day, is a vital piece of our shared history. It is a day to honor the extraordinary resilience, culture, and enduring contributions of Black Americans, while recognizing the continuous journey toward true equality and justice.
As our team steps away tomorrow to observe the holiday, we are taking time to reflect, listen, and learn. Wishing a meaningful Juneteenth to our customers, colleagues, partners, and community.
