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.

As we come together to celebrate Juneteenth, we recognize the significance of this day in commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It is a time to honor the resilience and strength of the African American community and reflect on the strides we have made towards equality and justice. However, while we celebrate this important milestone, we must also acknowledge the enduring legacy of slavery that still affects our society. The abolition of slavery was a monumental step, but the lack of a comprehensive plan for integration and support left many African Americans facing immense challenges. Today, we see the echoes of this historical oversight in ongoing struggles with job opportunities, educational disparities, and systemic racism. At PMI, we commit ourselves to addressing these issues head-on. We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just principles to aspire to, but fundamental values that require active pursuit. It is our responsibility to create an environment where everyone has equal access to opportunities and is empowered to succeed. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us also reaffirm our dedication to building a more just and equitable society. Let us work together to dismantle the barriers that continue to hold back so many and strive for a future where every individual can thrive. Happy Juneteenth!

❤️💛💚 JUNETEENTH ❤️💛💚 Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history that marks the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved individuals were now free — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth symbolizes the triumph of freedom over oppression, resilience over adversity, and unity over division. It serves as a poignant reminder of the progress we've made towards equality and justice, while also highlighting the ongoing work needed to achieve true racial equity. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us reflect on the sacrifices and contributions of African Americans throughout history. Let us reaffirm our commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces and communities where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive. Together, we can build a future that honors diversity, embraces equity, and upholds the values of freedom and justice for all.

Today we celebrate the observance of Juneteenth, a day that marks a pivotal moment in American history. On this day, June 19, 1865, Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery.   Despite the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1st, 1863, many areas of the South still actively held slaves and it wasn’t until the official defeat of Robert E. Lee that many were informed of their new rights. Two and a half years later they were finally freed.   The historical significance of Juneteenth lies in its symbolization of freedom and the end of slavery in the United States. It serves as a reminder of the long and arduous struggle for civil rights and the ongoing pursuit of racial equality and was only recently established as a national holiday by President Biden in 2021.   We hope you take this day to celebrate and remember and to grow in your journey of cultural awareness and understanding.   Digital Sales Diversity and Inclusion Team #dsdiversityandinclusion #juneteenth
