RESOLUTION NO. B13-14-36
JUNETEENTH WEEK
WHEREAS, on January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that stated “all slaves shall be forever free” and later ordered that African-Americans “would be received into the armed services” establishing the United States Colored Troops, which, although barely mentioned in U.S. history literature, significantly influenced the outcome of the Civil War, as over 200,000 African-Americans served in the Union Army and Navy; and
WHEREAS, on June 19 (referred to as "Juneteenth"), 1865, the Union Army finally announced in Texas that President Lincoln had proclaimed two-and-a-half years earlier that all slaves were freed, and there would be equality of personal and property rights between former masters and slaves, which later led to the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery on December 6, 1865; and
WHEREAS, it would take decades of struggle and collective effort before African-Americans were granted equal treatment and protection under the law, and since 1997, the U.S. Congress has unanimously passed joint resolutions recognizing Juneteenth as America’s Second Independence Day as a symbolic milestone in our nation’s journey toward a more perfect union; and
WHEREAS, diverse Americans share a common respect for democratic institutions by which the tenets of freedom are guaranteed and protected, and Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and justice for all Americans with an emphasis on education, achievement, and tolerance; and
WHEREAS, the City of Vallejo will host the 26th Annual Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 21st, at City Park, 425 Alabama Street, and invites all citizens to come together on this day to celebrate our freedom, families, and communities, and to acknowledge the struggles and triumphs of African-Americans by enjoying an event of peace, respect, and brotherly love and to honor and salute our county’s rich cultural legacy and diversity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Solano County Board of Education does hereby recognize the week of June 15-21, 2014, as Juneteenth Week and encourage all citizens to celebrate Vallejo’s 26th Annual Juneteenth Celebration to increase awareness of a part of our history that continues to influence our society today, to become more mindful of the significance of this celebration in African-American history and in the heritage of our nation and county, and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of guaranteeing liberty and equal rights for all Americans.
