This Juneteenth, we remind you of the invitation to join the ACC NCR Black & African American Affinity Group for a Micro-Networking lunch to continue our discussion on both organizational changes and individual practices to promote overall wellness. In these dynamic times, let’s share personal and professional experiences in light of any changes in our lives since the February meeting.
Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day and also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day) marks 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. The troops’ arrival came two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth became a state holiday in Texas in 1980, and a number of other states subsequently followed suit. In 2021, Juneteenth was made a federal holiday.
We hope you can join us for an interactive discussion over a good meal!
