All Pinellas Opportunity Council, Inc. offices will be closed on Fri., June 19, 2026 in observance of Juneteenth. We will resume normal operating hours on Mon., June 22nd.

The Juneteenth holiday is observed annually on June 19, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. A combination of the words June and nineteenth, the holiday, also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day has been celebrated since 1866 and is considered to be one of the oldest continuing African American holidays. On June 17, 2021, Pres. Joe Biden signed legislation to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.

In 1863, during the American Civil War, Pres. Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared more than three million enslaved people living in the Confederate states to be free. (Chattel slavery remained legal in border states loyal to the Union—such as Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia—and was not officially abolished in the United States until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment.) More than two years passed, however, before enslaved African Americans living in Texas (some 250,000) were freed. It was not until Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and were able to enforce the edict that the state’s residents finally experienced freedom.

Happy Juneteenth!! ❤️🖤💚💛
