Friend,

On this day in 1865, more than two years after Lincoln gave his
Emancipation Proclamation, slavery ended in Galveston, Texas. This joyous
occasion, officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, celebrates
“the day that all men and women became free.” But Juneteenth is not just a
day for celebration, it’s a day to reflect on the progress we have made as
a country and the unfinished work to fulfill the American promise of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

For too many Americans, especially Black and brown Americans, that promise
is unfulfilled. 

We must unwind the vast reach of systemic racism that still exists today,
from voter suppression to disparities in education and generational
wealth. We must be willing to confront our history with race on all
fronts, good and bad. And we must keep pushing for a more perfect union.

As we celebrate the freedom of all people today, let’s remember our work
is not finished. I urge you to spend some time reflecting on what
Juneteenth means not just in the context of American history, but in
relation to the ongoing fight for a brighter, more equitable future.

Onward,
Ro
