澳门六合彩历史记录 President Guiyou Huang: Juneteenth Celebration & Observance

June 19, 2023

---

Dear University Community,

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln declared all those who were enslaved free, Major General Gordon Granger and the Union Army troops traveled to Galveston, TX, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. 澳门六合彩历史记录 will join our nation in commemorating Juneteenth.

We not only celebrate and acknowledge Juneteenth as a University, we continue to work toward justice, inclusion, and equity for all. In March, we held the grand opening of our newly established JIDE (justice, inclusion, diversity, and equity) office. And, the Anti-racism Task Force has been active for a year, working to identify anti-racism initiatives, with the goal to eradicate racism at 澳门六合彩历史记录, and building and establishing a diversity plan for the University.

This is the second year that marks Juneteenth as a federal holiday. As such, 澳门六合彩历史记录 will be closed on Monday, June 19 to commemorate Juneteenth. Operations will resume on Tuesday, June 20.


Best wishes,

Guiyou Huang, Ph.D.
President
