Dear Colleagues,
June is here and it is time to bring rainbow and red in our lives, and celebrate Pride Month (LGBTQIA+) and Juneteenth!

| Pride Month – LGBTQIAP+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and Pansexual)
This is a great time to increase our awareness on the LGBTQIAP+ community, be allies of LGBTQIAP+, understand the importance of gender pronouns, and join in Pride Month celebrations. Here are some resources, events, and training opportunities.

Juneteenth
This year, we celebrate Juneteenth on June 19th. Juneteenth is the oldest commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, originated in Galveston, Texas on 1865.
I would like to finish my note by photographs of Emancipation Day Parade (1905), and Pride Month Parade (1980s).
