Juneteenth, an annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, has been celebrated by African-Americans since the late 1800s. On June 17, 2021, it became the 11th holiday recognized by the federal government. On June 19, 1865, a Union General rode into Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended, and slaves had been freed.

Juneteenth marks a date of major significance in American history and shows us that freedom and racial equality have always been a hard-fought battle for black Americans – a battle that continues to this day. The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a community space where this spirit of hope lives on.
There are many ways you can observe and celebrate this holiday, from supporting black businesses to educating yourself, to using your voice to spread love. You can also take time to share the stories of black people you admire, and learn about prominent black figures in American history.
To honor the holiday, we encourage you to take time to reflect, learn and educate yourself.
The Leslie Saunders Insurance Agency, the only woman-owned certified insurance, benefits, and training company in the United States has agreed to acquisition by Branch Insurance Group, Nevada’s largest minority owned independent insurance agency. The acquisition will allow for expanded services to the customers as well as create jobs and more opportunities nationwide; fueling the economy.
As with any company one has owned for over 20 years, deciding a business succession process is a complex decision. Being always forward-thinking, Leslie Saunders was clear when the time and partner were right. “I knew it was time to sell while there was upside potential, and a new generation to scale the business in ways I couldn’t,” says Leslie Saunders, President of the Leslie Saunders Insurance Agency. “After extensive research, I found the perfect buyer to fit the needs of my clients and couldn’t be more thrilled about the future.”
“The partnership acquisition with Leslie Saunders Insurance Agency for me is first about legacy preservation,” says Quincy L Branch, President and CEO of Branch Insurance Group. “Being a 2nd generation insurance agency owner, I see and understand the value of what Leslie has built over her 30+ year career. LSIA has been an asset to the ACDBE airport programs and I look to ensure that it continues,” he adds.
For professionals such as Mrs. Saunders and Mr. Branch, strategic business deals go beyond revenue and job creation. It feeds to the community as well, which is more important now than ever. Mr. Branch notes, “as a successful independent agency Leslie Saunders Insurance Agency has been able to support local charities and other community-based initiatives via countless donations and volunteer hours, which is important to us.” Both believe that having connections to all the airports in the US will allow the firm to continue to have an impact in numerous communities across the United States.
Official management change was completed on 12/31/20 and the company will assume the new brand as of 1/1/2021.
