Honoring Juneteenth To advance as a more inclusive society, it’s imperative we look back in celebration of the landmark moments that are part of our heritage, reflecting upon past societal wins and collective wrongs, educating on the impact felt today, and making room for understanding and growth. Today, June 19th, marks the 159th anniversary of Juneteenth—the oldest known commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrating the Juneteenth holiday alone is not enough to create fundamental change, but it can foster education and awareness and propel us to consider how we create truly inclusive and equitable cultures. It serves as a moment of reflection, as well as celebration, and a moment to consider the work ahead that is needed to build equitable and inclusive cultures for our Black colleagues. To further empower both companies and individuals in their commitment to supporting Black employees not only on Juneteenth but every day, we invited you to download, read, and share our friend changeforce's resource "How to Support Black Employees on Juneteenth and Every Other Day of the Year" (link in comments). How can we foster greater understanding and equity for Black employees? Share your thoughts in the comments below! #Juneteenth #DEI #InclusiveOrganizations #InclusiveLeadership
