Happy Juneteenth! On this day in 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were informed by Union soldiers that the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed, effectively ending slavery in the state. To commemorate the holiday, Google’s inclusion team — in partnership with the Black Googler Network (BGN) — is celebrating Juneteenth with the theme, “Living Legacies: an exploration of culture and community.” For many Black Googlers, BGN is a key source of culture and community in the office. When asked what this community means to him, Dalain W. — a data and insights lead based in Dallas — shared, “the support, fellowship, and sense of belonging BGN provides is unparalleled. It allows Googlers to develop an intimate sense of togetherness that fosters growth beyond the day to day work.” Zeru Feki, a senior account manager based in the Bay Area, shared a similar sentiment. “My involvement with BGN has transformed my experience at Google. Finding my tribe of individuals who share my background and passions gave me an incredible sense of belonging and empowers me to be my authentic self at work.” As we celebrate Juneteenth 2024, we’re focused on highlighting how each of us can play a role in driving change and building a more inclusive world. One of the first steps in this process is finding community, and we’re excited to spotlight just one of the many communities supporting Black Googlers and building a more inclusive workplace.

19 июня была отменена лишь открытая форма рабства/эксплуатации. На смену ему пришла новая форма в виде капитализма. Пока не уничтожен капитализм, рано праздновать победу. За лучший мир нужно бороться! Бороться за коммунистическое общество - без эксплуатации, без деления и сегрегации, без войн. Только честный труд!
