Let Juneteenth, the day that slaves in Texas learned of their freedom, be a day of recognition that as far as we have come as a nation, challenges still face the descendants of those slaves and all communities of color.

Let?s Recognize Juneteenth As More Than A Celebration
Metro General Manager Terry White speaks at event celebrating the installation of ?Routed in History? murals at the Jimi Hendrix Park
The following is an excerpt from an editorial by King County Metro General Manager Terry White.
"We invite you to be part of Metro?s journey to becoming an anti-racist organization to help our county and our country be an anti-racist society. We are reimagining what a safe and welcoming transit system looks like for all who ride Metro, especially those communities that have historically borne the brunt of racism and discrimination. Being a new arrival to this country, living with a disability, your gender identity, your sexual orientation or your ethnicity should not be a barrier to feeling secure whenever you ride with us.
Metro is committed to creating a workforce across our organization that reflects the community we serve, and building a workplace where everyone feels appreciated, empowered and heard. Metro offers forums to listen and learn from personal truths and experiences, and is committed to increasing accountability and providing enhanced trainings. Metro also is working internally to implement long-lasting systemic shifts that build, nurture and sustain a culture of belonging throughout our organization and across all our services...
On this, the first celebration of Juneteenth as an official holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. County, let?s recognize it with more than a celebration. Let?s recognize it by taking the steps necessary to create an equitable future. By doing so, we honor the courage of those who waited two years to learn they were free.
Happy Juneteenth!"
