Pulido Transport remembers Juneteenth

Houston, TX – June 20, 2022

Pulido Transport remembers Juneteenth, the day enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas finally received word they were free from bondage. It was nearly nine decades after our Nation’s founding and more than 2 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 that those who were formerly enslaved were recognized for the first time as American citizens.

Juneteenth offers a reminder for our entire nation to recommit to the ideals in the Declaration of Independence including “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”.
