Juneteenth or Freedom Day- marks the 155th anniversary of the reading of federal orders in Galveston, Texas that the Civil War had ended and all previously enslaved people were now free, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law and enslaved people had been freed in other states.
In commemoration of Juneteenth, we commit to listening, learning, sharing resources and elevating Black voices. Comment below with resources and accounts you like and recommend.

Of course this year’s CYLR graduation was not *exactly* how we wanted to honor our amazing AmeriCorps Members, but we are so thankful for their resilience during this time! Thank you to all (1,100+) of our amazing partners, friends, families, champions, board members and school community members for joining our celebration today. We are excited to see what’s next for our graduating ACMs, but today we simply say congratulations. 🎉 #CYLR #CityYearLeadersForLife #VirtualGraduation
