Community Uplift Program will be closed on Friday, June 19th, in observance of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a day to recognize and celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice.
As we observe this important day, we encourage everyone to take time to learn about its history, reflect on its significance, and honor the contributions and experiences of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.
Thank you, and we wish everyone a meaningful Juneteenth.
