Children’s Network of Southwest Florida is pleased to commemorate Juneteenth as a company-wide holiday. This annual celebration, also known as Freedom Day, dates back many years in the African-American community. More recently, it became a federal holiday in 2021 – the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Day was adopted in 1983. We honor Juneteenth as a celebration of freedom, and recognize the incredible contributions of Black Americans to our common life!
