Happy Juneteenth! To quote John Albuquerque, "Let's make Juneteenth a commemorative, not of the horrific institution our country embraced, but rather as a showcase of the strength in the American spirit to recognize wrong and set about making it right ... Let us celebrate all that Juneteenth teaches us about our country's greatness in our use of the heart to hear and to learn and to work together for all that is good and just."

????The Haitian Revolution brought an end to slavery and French colonial rule in Haiti in 1804. ???? In Saint Lucia and the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean, our enslaved ancestors were freed in 1834, a year after the official proclamation. ???? The formal end of slavery in the Spanish-speaking countries of South and Central America occurred during pivotal independence movements which began as early as the 1810s, with slavery ending in most of these countries by the 1850s. Slavery in Puerto Rico ended in 1873, and in Cuba in 1886. ???? After a 10-year transition period from the initial proclamation, enslaved persons in Suriname and the Dutch Antilles were freed in 1873. ???? In 1888, Brazil was the last country in the Americas where slavery came to an end. ---------- Juneteenth (June 19) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States which is an important part of this timeline. Occurring in 1865, this places the US as one of the last countries to end slavery in the Americas. This TedX animation was beautifully and intentionally crafted and gives a comprehensive overview of the end of slavery in the United States and the continued fight for racial equality for Black Americans to this day.

Today we commemorate Juneteenth, the national holiday that marks the end of the worst era of our history, an era in which our country failed to live up to the ideals promised in the Declaration of Independence: “…that all [people] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Though we failed then, today God has graced us with a “do over.” We each can do our part to help our precious democratic experiment live up to her loftiest ideals. It is fitting, therefore, that Juneteenth is celebrated nearly two weeks to the day before the commemoration of our freedom and independence as a nation, allowing us simultaneously to mourn the past, celebrate the present, and commit to doing better in the future. So, the Office for Community Belonging invites you to join us this June 19th, Juneteenth, in reflecting upon how we can each build a stronger, even more inclusive community at Pepperdine and—as a result—a fairer and more inclusive world.

This Juneteenth, let us commemorate true and full freedom for all. May we observe the day by reflecting on the values of resilience, perseverance, solidarity, and unity, as we lean into the challenging but necessary work of contemplating our history while envisioning a more hopeful tomorrow. This day serves as an important reminder that we must remain committed to uplifting diverse and/or marginalized voices and standing together in the courageous pursuit of justice — for everyone.

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re celebrating and honoring indigenous cultures, histories, and invaluable contributions globally. From the Standing Rock protests to defending the Weelaunee Forest against destruction, Indigenous communities have always been leaders in the fight for justice. As we continue to fight for racism and poverty, we must acknowledge the inequities for Indigenous communities. This includes recognizing the colonization and genocide of entire peoples that preceded the founding of the U.S. Chicago sits at the intersection of many Indigenous lands, including those of the Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and Miami peoples.

Today, we celebrate the spirit of unity, diversity, and freedom. Let's honor the principles that define our great nation. #globaleducationalinstitutesgreaternoida #globaleducationalinstitutes #globaleducation #SpiritOfUnity #DiversityCelebration #FreedomDay #GreatNationCelebration #HonoringPrinciples
