Association of National Park Rangers statement in observance of Juneteenth
21 Jun 2021
Park rangers protect the places and share the stories of America, including the places that memorialize the painful chapters of slavery and the fight for emancipation.

The Association of National Park Rangers is glad to see attention focussed on this significant aspect of American history, and we hope it will encourage new conversations about race and equity as we strive to create a more perfect union.
