Metro celebrates Juneteenth

Metro celebrated Juneteenth in community with food, music, and dancing. The event highlighted Black transit workers who hold our communities up?especially the powerful Black women in our collective history and present.

You can find pictures from the event on Twitter.?

De?Sean Quinn, Metro Assistant General Manager for Strategy and Partnerships, wrote about Juneteenth in the Metro Matters blog. Below is a selection from his message: Juneteenth (June 19), [is] a day that recognizes the end of slavery in the United States. In 1865, two and half years following the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. African descendants who had spent their lives in bondage took the date, June 19, to commemorate freedom and resilience. Juneteenth is considered the longest-running African American holiday. [...] At Metro, our goal is to provide transportation that is equitable, safe and enables access to opportunities for all . Part of that work is to acknowledge and address the continuing racial disparities in our region to build better communities for everyone. The work we do towards creating a more equitable mobility system is meaningful and necessary. You can read the whole message on the?Metro Matters blog.?

Metro is hiring part-time and full-time transit operators (bus drivers) and trades professionals to keep the region moving. Learn more on our website.?
