On June 19th, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free.

Juneteenth has always been more than a holiday. The day stands as a testament to and celebration of the unyielding spirit of a people. As it has since its inception, Energy Safety will continue to fulfill its core safety mission, contribute to the push for a more equitable and just society, and strive to develop and maintain an inclusive and diverse workforce, one that reflects the composition of the communities served by the utilities we regulate.
