Did your company or employer recognize the Juneteenth holiday? What, if any, longer term actions have been taken to ensure equity for Black employees?

Tomorrow is . Juneteenth is the day that marks when Union soldiers rode into Galveston, Texas to deliver the news that the Civil War had ended, and all enslaved Black people were declared legally free.

This is a day for Black employees to rest, celebrate, gather with family—whatever they choose. It's also a day for everyone in our country to educate themselves on the barriers Black people still face in America.

Now that Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday, it's important to acknowledge companies need to do more than just offer a paid day off. If they want to do better by their Black employees, leaders need to do the real work of showing up as allies and challenging bias and discrimination when they see it. And companies should invest in comprehensive allyship and anti-racism training. Recognizing the historic significance of Juneteenth is powerful, but it's even more important to take concrete steps to address the injustices that Black people still face today.
