As we honor progress and strength in the Black community, BHT is also spending today recommitting ourselves to working together to build a more equitable and just community.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant milestone in American history marking the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and action. As we honor the resilience and contributions of the Black community, let’s also commit to fostering equality and justice in our workplaces and communities. Let’s honor this historic day by educating ourselves, supporting Black-owned businesses, and standing up for justice and equality. Together, we can build a future where freedom truly means freedom for everyone. In observance of Juneteenth, the Association Forum office is closed. #WeAreForum #Juneteenth #WelcomingAF

Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It is observed annually on June 19. The day marks the moment in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the U.S. learned they were free, two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Since becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has gained broader recognition beyond Black America. People celebrate it through cookouts, barbecues, community service, education panels, and other events. It’s a day to honor Black resilience, independence, and community, expressed through music, food, and ceremony. Learning from the past shapes the history of today, and embracing change is essential for growth. #Juneteenth #BlackAmerica #EndHumanCrime

With our offices closed today for Juneteenth, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to honor and celebrate the importance of all that this day represents. Juneteenth commemorates the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. This occurred a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States and marks the day that all enslaved people finally learned of their emancipation. While it’s been nearly 200 years since slavery officially came to an end, we recognize that there is still work to be done when it comes to tackling the biases and systemic racism that is still present within our society. Whether it be our work through the The Diversity Marketing Consortium to smaller efforts like yesterday’s catered team lunch from Field Trip Catering, a Black-owned business located in Morningside Heights & Harlem, it is core to who we are at SourceCode to continue supporting, elevating, and celebrating the Black community. We hope that everyone will find their own way to do the same (and, not just today!) whether it be shopping at a local black-owned business, celebrating this vibrant community’s contributions to art and culture through books, movies, or music, or educating yourselves about how to be a better ally and supporter.
