Last week, we honored Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that celebrates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in Texas on June 19, 1865, over 2 years after President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1,1863. At KONE, we recognize the importance of this day not just as a historical milestone, but as a reminder of the ongoing fight for inclusion. Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and celebration of the rich culture and contributions of the African American community. Together, we can continue to shape a future where everyone feels valued and empowered. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #KONE #Inclusion #ShapingCities
