Good day!

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a historic milestone that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery, marking a pivotal moment in our nation’s journey towards equality and justice for all.

Juneteenth reminds us of the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black communities throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing pursuit of freedom, civil rights, and social justice for everyone.

As we honor this day, let us reflect on the progress made and recommit ourselves to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and every voice is heard. Together, we stand in solidarity against injustice and discrimination, striving for a future where equality and opportunity are accessible to all.

In observance of Juneteenth, the Village of Lynwood recognizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage you to take a moment today to learn about Juneteenth’s significance and its impact on our shared history.

Wishing you a meaningful Juneteenth filled with reflection, education, freedom, and unity.

Warm regards,
Lynwood Village Hall
