As we observe Juneteenth, we join communities acro As we observe Juneteenth, we join communities across the nation in commemorating a defining moment in American history and celebrating the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality.
 
On June 19, 1865, 900 long days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were officially informed through General Order No. 3 delivered by General Granger and his troops that all slaves are free. Juneteenth symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and stands as a powerful reminder that the promise of liberty must be continually and fervently advanced and protected.
 
This holiday honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans while inviting all of us to reflect on our nation's history and to recommit ourselves to the enduring principals of liberty and justice for all. 
 
As public servants dedicated to fairness and the rule of law, we recognize that trust in our justice system is built through integrity, accountability, and a commitment to treating every person with dignity and respect. Juneteenth provides an opportunity to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations about how we can continue strengthening those values in our lives, work, and in our communities.
 
Wishing you a meaningful #Juneteenth. Let freedom ring! 

- DA Summer Stephan
