Today is Juneteenth, the day in 1865 where news of freedom was delivered to Galveston, TX, marking the official liberation of enslaved Black Americans. Now it's a day to honor progress and reflect on the work that remains to build a more equitable nation. Today's #GoogleDoodle celebrates this important day in American history, and was illustrated by father-son guest artist duo Jerome & Jeromyah Jones (@jeromyahjones)
