As we come together to honor a rich and vibrant culture and celebrate Juneteenth, the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, we also recognize the vital role that language access plays in preserving and elevating this remarkable culture.

It serves as a bridge, connecting diverse communities and amplifying those voices and allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of African American languages, dialects, and expressions.
