It’s a time to listen, learn and reflect.

We asked players what today to means them – and how we can create a better tomorrow. Here is what they shared: https://t.co/BwFtN7MbSE pic.twitter.com/p9HuhbwT3Q

Although #Juneteenth has been long celebrated in the Black community, this monumental event remains largely unknown. This must change. And it starts by educating ourselves on the historical legacy of the day. Today and moving forward, we honor & recognize Juneteenth as a holiday.

Forever Free.

On June 19, 1865 orders were read by Union general Gordon Granger that all slaves were proclaimed free. That day has become known as Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is not currently recognized as a Federal holiday, help us change that.

Education is the most powerful tool for change.

— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) June 19, 2020

Acknowledging racism exists isn't enough.

Listen to understand.
Educate yourself.
Take anti-racist actions.
