The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) proudly celebrates Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the end of slavery in the United States. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom and equality.
Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone; it is a call to action for continued progress towards justice and inclusion. At NACDD, we honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, including those with developmental disabilities, and reaffirm our commitment to advocating for a society where every individual is valued and respected.
As we commemorate Juneteenth, let us reflect on the importance of freedom, acknowledge the work still to be done, and unite in our efforts to create a more equitable future for all. Happy Juneteenth from the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities!
