Executive Round Up: How do Companies Recognize Juneteenth?
We asked executives across the industry how their companies recognize Juneteenth. Here’s what they had to say.
Megan Detz

Cable One
The Cable One family of brands is honored to commemorate Juneteenth, recognizing this date as a pivotal moment for freedom in our nation’s history. These efforts include annual sponsorships of Juneteenth celebrations in the communities we serve, as well as videos featuring associates sharing the history of Juneteenth and what the holiday means to them. Additionally, we provide a guide for associates to find local celebrations in their area.

A+E Networks
A+E Networks celebrates the recent federal recognition of the Juneteenth holiday and closes our US offices in commemoration. Our Black at A+E ERG also hosts a number of company-wide town halls in honor of the holiday. We further commemorate the beginning of America’s pivot to true liberty and justice for all by inviting employees across our global offices to participate in corporate days of service; leading with kindness, and giving back to our communities.

Bounce TV
Bounce is a meeting ground, an all-inclusive community, a place where Black people from all walks of life feel connected while creating a humane, respectful, and inclusive culture. On Juneteenth this year, we will be world premiering the 30th anniversary Bounce Trumpet Awards. Juneteenth is the perfect occasion upon which to honor and recognize the outstanding accomplishments of African Americans and those who have excelled against great odds and inspired success in others.
