Juneteenth commemorates a historic day in June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom following the end of the Civil War. Despite being over 155 years since this event, racism remains a pervasive issue in American society, causing ongoing pain and inequality for African Americans. The Black Lives Matter movement aims to address these injustices by amplifying marginalized voices and promoting human rights. SingleStore is observing Juneteenth with a minute of silence, presentations, and employee days off to educate themselves on African American history and related issues, highlighting the importance of standing in solidarity against racism and promoting inclusivity.
