Juneteenth Holiday, June 19, (observed June 20), 2022

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

"There are many ways to celebrate Juneteenth. From an outdoor cookout with traditional foods to the modern-day office conference room, Juneteenth can be celebrated in various settings. Start with a reading of the “History of Juneteenth” to learn how Juneteenth celebrations have endured and evolved through the years. For a deeper understanding of the spirit in which current-day celebrations are held, read “Juneteenth In Modern Times”.

One of the most important and immediately impactful actions anyone can take is to support black-owned businesses and organizations. These grassroots, ground-level contributions make a daily impact on work, quality of life, and growth in the community. Make a daily, weekly, and yearly conscious effort to plant your economic seeds and watch them grow."
