Dear SSW Community,
The Juneteenth holiday, which UConn will observe on Thursday, June 19, commemorates the day in 1865 when the Union army delivered the news that the last community of enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, were free. Long recognized as a day of celebration by the African American community, Juneteenth became a holiday in the state of Connecticut in 2023. To learn more about Juneteenth, I encourage our community to view the National Museum of African American History and Culture’s online Juneteenth Exhibit.
At the UConn School of Social Work, observing Juneteenth is a part of our steadfast mission to advance social justice and anti-racism. On this Juneteenth, let’s reflect on both the history and the work ahead and use our social work values to guide our commitment to anti-racism at our school and in the communities we serve.
