Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth! 🎉 On this day in 1865, Union troops finally reached Galveston, Texas bringing news of the Emancipation Proclamation and freeing the last enslaved African Americans some two and a half years after it was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Juneteenth has long been a significant celebration with the African American community, and in June 2021, legislation was signed officially recognizing it as a Federal Holiday, bringing its importance to the forefront for all Americans. This day marks a significant milestone in the fight for freedom and equality. At Chemtrade, we honor this historic day by reaffirming our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize the importance of acknowledging our history as we strive to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
