Today we join our friends and neighbors to mark #Juneteenth, also known as #FreedomDay, a commemoration of the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Americans were freed more than 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. Let's all celebrate this 2nd Independence Day.

We will #NeverForget the victims of the attack on 9/11 or the bravery and selflessness of the first responders who rushed to help. May we also remember that Americans have more that unites us than divides us.
