#Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, the last enslaved people were freed in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth has come to represent the end of slavery in the... US more broadly, and it is a reminder that no single action or event marks a true "end" to the legacy of slavery. The work of justice and anti-racism continues today.

In honor of and in celebration of this day, our offices will be closed, and our Ambassadors will not be active in the neighborhood today. We will use this time to not only reflect on the past, but to look inward and find ways we can actively create a more just and equitable future by combating racial injustices, amplifying Black voices, and championing Black creators and Black-owned businesses every day of the year. 

If you’re a Black business owner or know of a Black-owned business in or near NoMa, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a DM or comment below, and swipe to meet three of NoMa’s Black business owners: Dr. Ashley Fagan of @laluxedental, Hiram O’Russell of @blueboyimaging, and Marcia St. Hilaire Finn of @brightstartearlycarepreschool.
