LCPHA is CLOSED today in honor of Juneteenth.
Today is a day of recognition, restoration, and celebration!
June 19th is a holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The Union troops led by General Gordon Granger found that Africans were still enslaved in the state of Texas. General Granger issued an order proclaiming freedom for more than 250,000 slaves in Texas.
With the principles of self-determination, citizenship, and democracy magnifying their hopes and dreams those Texans held fast to the promise of true liberty for all and celebrate Juneteenth every June.
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer."
Gordon Granger
Union General, June 19, 1865

Huge thanks to all the crews, organizations, folks on the front lines, and folks helping to make it all happen behind the scenes.
This evening, we are happy to share that the Interlaken Fire is 86% contained. Acreage has increased to 731. This larger number is due in part to more accurate mapping from our most recent MMA flight, and to increased acreage on the north edge of the fire where it continues to slowly back down toward the trail near the lake.
Smoke was more visible today as interior pockets of unburned fuel heated and burned. Helicopters dropped water on these areas today to cool them.
