✋ Raise your hand if you learned about retirement from Doug in HR.

The news changed lives that day and shaped generations that followed. Local celebrations grew into a national recognition of resilience and progress. Juneteenth invites everyone to understand the past a little better and appreciate the strength that carried people forward.
