[![](https://blog.porthouston.com/hubfs/Juneteenth%20poster.png)](https://blog.porthouston.com/juneteenth-celebration?hsLang=en-us)

Did you know? Juneteenth was made an official federal holiday on June 17th, 2021, and this year will be Port Houston’s first-time celebrating Juneteenth in the workplace.

Kerrick Henny, Chief Government & Public Relations Officer at Port Houston, states *“Juneteenth marks a date of major significance in American history and represents the ways in which freedom for Black people have been delayed. It is a reminder that “nobody is free until everybody is free” It should be celebrated as the day when all Americans were liberated and created equal. It should be a day to reflect, to learn, and grow as a nation and as a people.”*
