Happy Juneteenth! My lovely wife wrote this...please read her beautiful sentiments.
Today, Friday, June 19, Janet's Planet celebrates Juneteenth.
Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery. This has long been an important day for the African American community, and so we take this small but important step in an effort to promote unity and healing.
Here at Janet's Planet, we recognize the need for more diversity in STEM and the aerospace industry and we are committed more than ever to inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, astronauts, researchers, and the designers of the future!
Acknowledging and celebrating Juneteenth is just one very small step that we hope will lead to giant leaps in diversity, equity, equality, and inclusion.
Juneteenth 2020 seems like the perfect time to pause, listen, and commit to doing our part to turn the tide and making space representative and accessible for everyone.
Join us by uniting in celebration of Juneteenth – Freedom Day.
