Juneteenth National Independence Day - Offices Closed June 19th
Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the freedom of the slaves in the United States. The name Juneteenth is a combination of the words June and nineteenth. The day is also called Emancipation Day and Freedom Day. In 2021, President Joe Biden signed a bill that was passed by Congress to set aside Juneteenth, or June 19th, as a federal holiday. There is a Juneteenth Flag of Freedom. It is half red and half blue with a star in the middle.
LCHA offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, for the Juneteenth holiday.
