SUMMARY:The City of Tukwila Presents – First Juneteenth Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:In 2020 the Council adopted Resolution 1992\, declaring that Juneteenth will be recognized every year in Tukwila.  It’s a celebration of emancipation and an opportunity to honor African Americans in our community through continued learning and understanding of the impacts of slavery. \nThis year the City of Tukwila is hosting their first Juneteenth Commemoration\, “Continued Learning – The History of Juneteenth: Past\, Present and Future of African American history.” Scroll down to view video highlights from this year’s commemoration\, or watch the full length event video at the bottom of the page. While this inaugural commemoration is virtual due to the pandemic\, the City’s goal is to grow the Juneteenth Commemoration over time into an annual Tukwila community-wide event. \n\nA History of Juneteenth\nThe Commemoration of Juneteenth is a nationally-celebrated event that takes place every year on June 19\, known as “Juneteenth.”  Learning its history provides understanding of how this day came to be.
