Black History Month is a time for us all to recognize the contributions of African Americans to our communities as well as the history of the United States and the world. It’s a time to learn about those who came before us and see how they’ve shaped our lives and society today. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistory #blackhistory2024

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the freedom of enslaved African Americans, more than two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom; it’s a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of African Americans. It’s a day to reflect on our history, recognize the struggles and achievements of Black communities, and commit to the ongoing fight for equality and justice. As we celebrate, let's take time to: - Educate ourselves and others about the history and significance of Juneteenth. - Support Black-owned businesses and uplift Black voices in our communities. - Advocate for policies that address racial inequalities and promote social justice. - Celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of African Americans to our society. Happy Juneteenth! Let’s continue to work towards a future where freedom and equality are truly enjoyed by all. 🖤✊🏽 #motivrei #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #BlackHistory #CelebrateFreedom #EqualityForAll

🌟 Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved Africans in the United States. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery, marking the belated fulfillment of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln over two years earlier. Why does Juneteenth matter? Here are three reasons why this holiday is essential to us all regardless of race, ethnicity, or nationality and is celebrated by Black Americans: 1️⃣ Historical Recognition: Juneteenth acknowledges the struggles and resilience of Black Americans who endured centuries of enslavement and fought for their freedom against immense odds. 2️⃣ Cultural Heritage: It serves as a reminder of African American culture and heritage, celebrating traditions, music, food, and stories that have enriched the fabric of American society. 3️⃣ Continued Struggle for Equality: Juneteenth is a call to continue the fight for racial justice and equality. It reminds us that while progress has been made, systemic inequalities persist, and we must work together to dismantle them. Let's honor Juneteenth by learning its history, amplifying Black voices, and advocating for a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history. Whether digital, literary, visual or performing arts, Black trailblazers and innovators revolutionized their fields, often transforming them by pioneering new techniques and styles. Through art, important issues and figures in African American history are exalted, and underrepresented stories are preserved. For the entire month of February, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating art and its relationship with justice. Art plays a role in communicating emotions, building community and inspiring action. #blackhistory #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistoryalways #BlackHistoryMatters #blackhistoryeveryday #Blackhistorymonth2024 #creditunion #creditunionlife #creditunionsrock #creditunions #creditunionscare #creditunionfamily #creditunionmembers #CreditUnionCommunity #credituniondifference
