Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Granger announced federal orders in Galveston, Texas, proclaiming the freedom of all remaining enslaved people, marking the effective end of slavery in the United States. In 2021, Juneteenth was added as the 11th American federal holiday, and the first to obtain legal observance since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was designated in 1983. Juneteenth is a deeply significant day for many Black Americans, symbolizing liberation and progress for civil & human rights.

We will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th to honor the historical significance, and contemporary cultural relevance of Juneteenth to our community & team.
