According to their website,

“1979 marked the first ever Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day in the history of history!  It was our way of thanking everyone for all the love and support they showed us that first year of business in a renovated petrol station in Burington, Vermont, USA.  Since then, Free Cone Day has only gotten bigger and better and is now celebrated all over the world!”

And have a second scoop…

“We’ve made enormous progress on issues of race in America over the last 60 years, however much work remains. Most of us feel that if we don’t hold overtly racist views ourselves, then racism isn’t our concern. But the truth is, deep systemic racism still drives profoundly different outcomes dependent upon one’s race. Whether it’s healthcare, education, or criminal justice, black Americans face very different experiences and outcomes than whites. As a company committed to fighting for social justice, we urge you to join us in taking action with our friends at Color of Change who are leading the fight for racial justice in America.”
