Happy 4th of July from all of us at Open Sky Agency! Today we're celebrating the spirit of freedom and independence that makes our nation great. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday!

Today we recognize Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. On the 19th of June 1865, Major Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to declare freedom for the nearly 250,000 slaves still being held in the state - two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

As we consider the history of this day, let's reflect on our journey towards equality and justice. We hope you'll join us in celebrating freedom, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Black Americans.
