Good morning, everyone!

Just a reminder that our office and Recycling services are closed today in observance of Juneteenth.

As promised, here are a few facts about Juneteenth:

• Juneteenth is celebrated each year on June 19 and commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

• The holiday marks June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed enslaved African Americans that they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

• The name “Juneteenth” is a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth.”

• The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.

• Juneteenth became a federal holiday in the United States in 2021, making it the first new federal holiday established since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.

• Traditional Juneteenth celebrations often include music, community gatherings, educational events, storytelling, and family cookouts.

• Red foods and drinks are commonly associated with Juneteenth and symbolize resilience, strength, and sacrifice.

• Texas was the first state to officially recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday in 1980.

• Juneteenth is also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Emancipation Day.

• The Juneteenth flag features a bursting star that represents freedom and a new beginning for African Americans in all 50 states.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend. We will see you on Monday!
