Each year, the CMU community comes together around Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19, to reflect, learn and grow. Juneteenth marks the end of chattel slavery in the United States in 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The delayed realization of emancipation for so many is a painful reminder of how the promise of freedom has too often been denied for Black Americans throughout our nation's history.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer is pleased to invite you to participate in annual events that give us the chance to come together in community.
