As the weather warms, there are numerous opportunities to reflect and celebrate our community’s history and heritage. Each June has been nationally recognized as Immigrant Heritage, Caribbean-American Heritage and LGBTQ+ Pride Month. At HCC, we value each and everyone in our community. See more information about diversity and inclusion initiatives and events on the Diversity & Inclusion webpage.

On June 19th, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation and four months after the Thirteenth Amendment was signed by Abraham Lincoln, the enslaved people of Galveston Bay, Texas finally received word of their freedom. That day was memorialized as Juneteenth.
