Atlanta City Council Honors Late Texas State Representative Albert “Al” Ely Edwards, the “Father of the Juneteenth Holiday”
Proclamation celebrates prominent Alpha Phi Alpha member for his four decades of dedication to create federal holiday
Beachwood, OH, United States, 11th Jun 2024 —The late Albert “Al” Ely Edwards, Former Texas State Representative has been honored by the Atlanta City Council and named, “Father of the Juneteenth Holiday.” Councilman Michael Julian Bond presented the award to his son Jason K. Edwards. Juneteenth will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.
“Yesterday the City of Atlanta and Councilman Michael Julian Bond recently honored dad for his work,” said Jason K. Edwards, the son of the Juneteenth champion and Chairman of Juneteenth USA, a nonprofit started by his late Father in 1979. “It was a wonderful honor for my dad and our family for the City of Atlanta to honor his work that started in Texas. Juneteenth USA is profoundly thankful to Councilman Bond and the City of Atlanta for making this day possible!”
In May of 2024, Juneteenth USA, which is the oldest Juneteenth organization in the United States, acknowledged the reference from the White House about Texas State Representative Al Edwards, known affectionately as the “Architect and Father of Juneteenth” and his efforts to make Juneteenth a true federal holiday. Juneteenth reminds the country of Americans’ national responsibility to honor the history of enslaved people and celebrate the freedom and rights U.S. citizens count on.
Edwards, a prominent member of the Alpha Eta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., was recognized for advocating to countless state legislators to pass Juneteenth in their state to create a state-led and state-celebrated national holiday, with unwavering commitment for almost four decades to transition June 19th from a Texas state holiday to a respected national holiday.
According to the late State Legislator’s son Jason Edwards, “Official recognition of the Juneteenth holiday lends profound significance to June 19, 1865. His political work with the 45 states that recognized Juneteenth by 2014, was aided by community activist like Opal Lee who in 2016 took his state-led efforts and started her push for Juneteenth to become a Federal Holiday. My father dedicated his life to ensuring that Juneteeth would finally join the revered national holidays here that recognize major historical days in our coutnry’s history.”

Brandon, MB, 4th December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Multicurrency functionality is a valuable feature for businesses that deal with international clients, suppliers, or operations. It allows companies to manage transactions, invoices, and payments in multiple currencies, providing flexibility and accuracy in global trade. However, there are scenarios where a business may choose or need to remove multicurrency features from their accounting software, whether due to a change in business strategy, compliance issues, or software limitations.
Removing multicurrency support can have significant implications on how financial data is recorded and reported. Typically, once multicurrency is enabled in an accounting system, it becomes deeply integrated with the way transactions are handled. This includes currency conversions, exchange rate tracking, and foreign currency reporting. As a result, disabling or removing multicurrency support is not always straightforward and often requires careful planning.
One of the primary reasons a business might decide to remove multicurrency functionality is if it has ceased international operations or consolidated its activities to a single currency environment. This decision simplifies accounting processes by eliminating the need to track fluctuating exchange rates and reduces the complexity of tax reporting. However, businesses must ensure that all existing foreign currency transactions are properly reconciled before multicurrency is removed. This often involves settling outstanding balances, converting open transactions into the base currency, and finalizing any exchange gains or losses.
Another consideration is the impact on historical financial data. Some accounting software does not allow multicurrency to be turned off once enabled because it affects the integrity of past records. In such cases, the business may need to create a new company file or accounting database without multicurrency features and migrate their current financial data accordingly. This process can be time-consuming and requires attention to detail to avoid data loss or inconsistencies.
It is also important to consult with accounting professionals before making any changes to multicurrency settings. They can help assess the implications for tax compliance, reporting standards, and audit requirements. Furthermore, they can assist with reconciling foreign currency transactions and ensuring that financial statements remain accurate and compliant with regulatory guidelines.
In conclusion, removing multicurrency features from accounting software is a significant step that requires thorough evaluation and preparation. While it can streamline accounting processes for businesses operating exclusively in one currency, the transition must be managed carefully to preserve data accuracy and maintain compliance. Seeking expert advice and planning the removal process diligently will help businesses navigate this change successfully.
