Today we honor Juneteenth as a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. In observance of this day, Lone Star CASA offices will be closed.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas were finally informed of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day, now a federal holiday, is known as Juneteenth, combining “June” and “nineteenth.” It’s also called Emancipation Day or Juneteenth Independence Day.
At Lone Star CASA, we remain committed to ensuring every child has a voice and every family is treated with dignity and respect.
