Happy Juneteenth!
"Keswick recognized Juneteenth as a company holiday beginning in 2022, and we maintain that commitment today. Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when Major Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the state of Texas to share the news of the official end of the Civil War... nearly two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. With that new knowledge came celebration. Juneteenth is also known as Jubilee Day.
This may remind us that what is known, understood, and experienced in one community does not always extend to another community. Sometimes, within one place, some people have all the knowledge and resources to successfully navigate their path, their day, their life, while others do not.
Shared knowledge is part of what lets us experience positive change, to feel joyous, together, and to simply feel like we belong.
Keswick's core values are connection, inclusion, advocacy, and empathy, and our vision focuses on fulfillment and freedom of choice. This guides us in making positive change in our Keswick community, every day and through each encounter with one another. Being more aware of and present in our relationship with each person in our community, we create a deeper sense of belonging, for all." - Aileen McShea Tinney, CEO
