Celebration of Hope

Celebrating Freedom Day and the fight for civil rights.

On this day, we recognize a monumental step forward. 155 years ago, Major General Gordon Granger came to Galveston, Texas to share the news that the war was over and the enslaved were free.

While you’ll still find a recap on this week’s marketing lessons. We invite you to do more. During this significant day in American history, take time to reflect, educate, and connect.
