\n Nike just did it: Juneteenth is now a paid company holiday.<\/p>\n

The sportswear giant added June 19, the oldest known US celebration of the end of slavery, to its list of annual official days off, CNN Business reported. Twitter<\/a>, Square and Vox Media also have designated the date as a holiday.<\/p>\n

Nike announced the decision Thursday in a letter to employees, which also laid out a host of other actions it is planning in response to the nationwide protests against racial injustice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Nike, Inc., we aspire to be a leader in building a diverse, inclusive team and culture. We want to be better than society as a whole,\u201d CEO John Donahoe wrote, adding the observance of Juneteenth is an opportunity \u201cto better commemorate and celebrate Black history and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Nike has depended on black athletes to build its brand, Donahoe acknowledged the company needs to do better by its black employees.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s African American workers feel \u201ca disconnect between our external brand and your internal experience,\u201d Donahoe wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have told me that we have not consistently supported, recognized and celebrated our own Black teammates in a manner they deserve. This needs to change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donahoe told workers that Nike\u2019s board and executive team will diversify the company\u2019s workforce and will measure the progress of hiring more black, Latinx and female employees.<\/p>\n

Nike didn\u2019t specify the targets for diversity, CNN Business reported. Competitor Adidas is promising to fill at least 30% of its new positions with black or Latinx workers.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
