Today, we honor Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States of America.⁣
⁣
On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder that justice and liberation are not always immediate, and that the fight for equality is an ongoing struggle.⁣
⁣
At Bremer Whyte Brown & O’Meara LLP, we recognize the importance of this day as a celebration of freedom, resilience, and black culture. It is also a time for reflection—on our history, on the progress made, and on the work that still lies ahead.⁣
⁣
We remain committed to building a future rooted in inclusion and respect for all.
