Premier sponsors of Dover's Juneteenth

06/19/2026

Today, at Legislative Mall, we celebrate the 161st Juneteenth Freedom day. The day is an important part of not only America and Black heritage, but Republican heritage. The Republican Party forced the issue of slavery and almost alone politically, abolished it. The GOP was the first major party to adopt abolition as a goal and the last because it succeed. The party supported Civil Rights. The 14th and 15tg amendments had zero Democrats supporters in Congress. Liberty and Union was the GOP battlecry on the battlefield and in the elections.

We are proud to be premier sponsors of this year's Juneteenth parade and event in Dover.

City facilities including the Library and Pitts Center will be closed and there will be no trash or curbside recycling collection by the City of Dover on Juneteenth, Friday, June 19, 2026.
