Happy Freedom Day! Today, we reflect on and celebrate African American freedom and culture. However, this day is also a reminder that there is still much progress to be made in addressing the injustices of racism. In the words of Angela Davis: "You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Juneteenth2024

Juneteenth is one of the most important days in African American history. It commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States, where more than 250,000 enslaved African Americans were freed by the Union troops in Galveston Bay, Texas. We acknowledge the progress made on racial justice in our country, but we also recognize that many issues persist and that we must work collectively to break down systemic racism. Juneteenth was adopted as a federal holiday in 2021 and is observed company-wide by Domini as a reflection of our mission to uphold racial justice and equity.
