Belonging necessitates both deliberate design and continuous action. Just as architects meticulously plan and construct a building's foundation, educators, leaders, and communities must intentionally create environments where every individual feels valued and included.
Juneteenth originated in Texas, commemorating June 19, 1865, when African Americans in Galveston learned belatedly of the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been signed more than two years before.
As we bid farewell to spring and embrace the arrival of summer, June becomes a beacon of jubilation, teeming with various festivities and observances that reflect the diverse cultures and beliefs that thrive globally. It's a month that encapsulates a wide range of celebrations, from joyous national holidays to solemn remembrances and everything in between.
