💚❤️🖤 Happy Juneteenth! 🖤❤️💚

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a powerful day of freedom, resilience, and Black liberation. It marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

📌 RACES is closed today in observance of this important day. We will resume normal business hours tomorrow.

🔍 Juneteenth Fact:
While the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, enforcement relied on Union troops. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, that freedom reached everyone making it the true final chapter of slavery in the U.S.

Let us continue to learn, reflect, and stand in solidarity.
For immediate assistance please feel free to call our 24hr hotline: 217-384-4444
