Did you know?

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is observed on June 19. In 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, the last enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom.

Today, we recognize the significance of this day and reflect on the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice.

We will be closed Friday, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth.
As we recognize Freedom Day, we take time to reflect, learn, and honor the importance of this day. We will reopen Monday, June 22, at 8 AM.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
