CFSC offices are closed today to honor Juneteenth! Juneteenth is an opportunity to reflect upon our ongoing struggle for equality and justice, and to celebrate resilience and strength.

On June 19, 1865, union troops arrived in Galveston TX to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation at the end of the Civil War. While legal slavery continued in the US until later that year, the celebration of this day grew into a nation-wide holiday that has been called America’s 2nd Independence Day.
 
Sonoma County has honored Juneteenth in various ways for over 70 years. This year, the community festival at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park in Santa Rosa held its 54th event. The celebration, which took place over the weekend, honored food, music, and the ongoing work in Sonoma County & beyond for equality and justice.
