🌟 Celebrating Freedom and Unity 🌟 Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that symbolizes freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality. On June 19, 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas – a full two and a half years after it was signed. At SKIMS, we recognize the significance of this day and stand committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued. 🤝❤️ Let's reflect on the past, celebrate progress, and continue to work together for a brighter, more equitable future. 🌍✨ #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion #SKIMS

Yes- let’s reflect on the past and celebrate. The change in Galveston came about when Union troops arrived. The change was met with hostility and was not welcome for many in Texas at that time, yet it meant so much hope and optimism to many who were enslaved. hence it referred to as a day of ‘Hope and Hostility’ towards emancipation. It’s a complex holiday rich in important history to any peoples facing racial struggles. Belated happy Juneteenth, and thank you SKIMS for honoring the special day.
