\n Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos stopped short of making Juneteenth a company holiday, as other business giants have, instead urging workers to cancel all of their Friday meetings.<\/p>\n

In a memo to employees with the subject line \u201cJuneteenth,\u201d Bezos said that he has spent time \u201cthinking about how recent events in our country have laid bare the systemic racism and injustices that oppress Black individuals and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s richest man wrote that he would be canceling his end-of-week meetings on the Juneteenth holiday \u2014 which marks the date on June 19, 1865, when the abolition of slavery was announced in the state of Texas \u2014 and suggested that employees follow his lead.<\/p>\n

He added that Amazon would be staging \u201clearning opportunities\u201d throughout the day for workers to educate themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease take some time to reflect, learn, and support each other,\u201d Bezos wrote, according to CNBC. \u201cSlavery ended a long time ago, but racism didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employees will still be expected to show up for work, however, unlike workers at Twitter<\/a> and Nike, which both made Juneteenth company holidays in the wake of\u00a0massive global protests against the May 25 Minneapolis\u00a0police killing of George Floyd\u00a0as well as police brutality and systemic racism.<\/p>\n

New York governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday announced that New York would be recognizing Juneteenth as an official state holiday, calling it \u201ca day that we should all reflect upon.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
