Juneteenth
Juneteenth (also known as Freedom Day) marks the date of June 19, 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to finally inform enslaved Black people of their freedom. Texas was the last state to receive the news. This historical moment came two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863.
People have celebrated Juneteenth since that day in 1865. Celebrations first began in Galveston and Houston, spreading throughout the west. Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday in 2021.
“It is a celebration of freedom, family, and the joy of being alive.”
– Kelly Navies, Museum Curator, National Museum of African American History & Culture
This Juneteenth, we invite you to learn and reflect on the significance of this profound moment in American history. See our resource flyer below or click here to read online.

Anna Brittner: A Heart for Care, A Soul from Bali
Since 2005, Gilman Grove assisted living has been fortunate to count Anna Brittner among its most dedicated caregivers. To meet Anna is to feel instantly welcomed — by her warm presence, infectious smile, and a quiet strength she attributes to her Balinese heritage.
“People from Bali are friendly and family-oriented,” Anna says with a laugh, “and we’re strong-minded too — just like me.”
