Governor Cooper Proclaims June 19 as Juneteenth Day
|
Governor Roy Cooper proclaimed June 19 as Juneteenth Day in North Carolina, honoring the oldest known commemoration of the abolition of slavery in the United States.
“As we celebrate Black heritage, history and freedom, it’s critical that we also take this opportunity to both celebrate the progress we’ve made and accept the challenge we still face to achieve true racial equality,” said Gov. Cooper. “By addressing the systemic racism that has been in our communities for centuries, we can create a more just and equitable future.”

Many of North Carolina’s diverse businesses closed at the start of the pandemic, and a disproportionate number of these businesses never reopened. Without the proper financial and advisory resources, more of these businesses will not survive and thrive in coming economic environment. In order for us to reach recovery we must have a proper exchange of value and resources - The Black Business Forum: Scaling NC's Underestimated Entrepreneurs Post-COVID provide just that!
