Pankow Recognizes Juneteenth
Pankow recognizes the importance of Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. We stand with the black community and continue to listen and learn to strategize actions that work towards a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Our goal is to create a brighter future together. Diversity and inclusion make us stronger, and we are grateful to all who join us in working toward a more just and equitable future.
