Happy Independence Day, everyone! Remember that today is a day to celebrate the freedom and the rights of all Americans: rights that we recognize in all our courthouses across Illinois. #independenceday #fourthofjuly #amerithanks #americorps

May this Juneteenth be a celebration of freedom and continual advocacy for black lives. As we reckon with the history of enslaved peoples in the United States, we make space for black voices and anti-racism in our courthouses today and every day.
