We asked members of the Jacobs School community: “What does Juneteenth mean to you?”

Maria Wilson, inclusive excellence workforce specialist in the Office of Inclusion and Cultural Enhancement, shares:

“Juneteenth means to me that history is not found solely in books. It can be unveiled from a plethora of voices. Juneteenth opened the door to a significant truth in American history, and it’s an honor to celebrate it.”
