On behalf of the Borough of Cliffside Park, Happy Juneteenth!
The name “Juneteenth” comes from the date June 19th, the date in 1865 when Union troops landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the Civil War was over and that all who were enslaved were to be freed. This was 2 and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
Juneteenth is a commitment to the equality and dignity for all.
Happy Juneteenth!
