There has always been resistance to any attempt to shift racial dynamics. Abolitionists, Anti-Segregationists, Civil Right Laws, Integration Practices/Policies... in 'real time' these were all seen as 'anti-american' and a 'threat to the fabric of this nation'. Only after the shifts occurred, did folx claim that they were 'always in support' of these measures. Consider how many people openly claim that they were against Dr. King when he first hit the national stage - most people state that they 'believed in his work' from the first moment they heard him speak, but historical records show otherwise - news papers, polls, news coverage... all show that there was a national hesitancy in accepting Dr. King's message. It was only after his assassination and the distance of time, that society embraced his message - with amnesia for the initial resistance. This resistance is the historical legacy of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity work. We continue to move forward knowing that resistance is a sign that shift occurring.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This significant day honors the moment on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the freedom of the last enslaved people, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. As we reflect on this day, let's commit to fostering inclusivity, understanding, and respect within our communities and workplaces. Celebrating Juneteenth isn't just about recognizing the past; it's about building a future where freedom and opportunity are truly available to everyone. Let’s use this day to educate, engage, and take actionable steps toward a more equitable society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality

Reflecting on the profound impact of Juneteenth, it’s crucial to recognize that slavery's legacy extends beyond the denial of equal pay; it fundamentally denied the right to inclusivity. #Inclusivity means more than #representation; it means breaking down systemic barriers that have long marginalized foreign scholars and other underrepresented groups. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let’s commit to fostering a truly inclusive academic and professional environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #Juneteenth #Inclusivity #Equality #Diversity #AcademicCommunity #InternationalScholars
