Earlier this month, the City of Boulder announced that it joins the federal and state governments in commemorating Juneteenth as an official holiday. This year, Juneteenth (June 19) falls on a Sunday, and the city will officially observe the holiday on Monday, June 20, while Boulder Public Library locations will be closed on Sunday June 19, and open on Monday, June 20. The city’s Human Relations Commission is co-sponsoring local events throughout the weekend in celebration of the holiday.
Juneteenth, which falls on June 19 each year, celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation officially ended slavery in 1862, enforcement in all the states took several years. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers reached Galveston, TX, that all enslaved people in the country were finally freed.
