Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that acknowledges the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States and represents a pivotal moment in our nation's history.
John Woodall, a member of our BOLD belonging group, shares what the day means to him: "Juneteenth reminds me, in the words of James Weldon Johnson, to 'Lift EVERY voice and sing, 'til Earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty.' Not just voices of color, who are the obvious recipients of the abolishment of slavery, but EVERY voice, as Juneteenth celebrates the gradual freedom of others from the enslavement of their minds against the self-evident truth that All Men and Women Are Created Equal."
