Juneteenth is a national commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19, 1865, that the civil war was declared over, and slaves were proclaimed to be free. This meant any enslaved workers were now to be considered employees and should receive compensation for their work. Texas was the first state to declare Juneteenth a holiday in 1979, with other states following suit shortly after. These days, celebrations are held across the country in honor of the date, making it one of the most popular emancipation celebrations of the year.

Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle is a 315-bed acute care hospital based in Columbus, Mississippi. Serving East Mississippi and West Alabama areas for over four decades, the hospital provides a full range of medical services cutting across various ages.

The hospital emphasizes high standards of patient care and bestows the DAISY Award to recognize extraordinary nurses who have excelled in their service to patients. The DAISY Award was established in 1999 by the DAISY Foundation managed by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died at 33 years due to Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), an auto-immune disease.

His family was impressed by the care and compassion nurses accorded him during the eight-week hospital stay. The DAISY Award recognizes nurses who work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of their patients. The awardees are nurses who demonstrate excellence in both clinical expertise and compassionate care. To nominate a nurse, patients are required to describe how a nurse went above and beyond to care for them or a loved one.

The Economic Department seeks ways to empower African-Americans and other underprivileged groups by providing financial education, career advancement, and inclusivity in business hiring and procurement, among other matters. Local communities are empowered with key resources and tools to develop sustainable economic models that promote equity and diversity. Also, the Economic Department ensures that both government and industry stakeholders create an enabling environment that bridges racial inequality, particularly in employment, entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and lending.
