Juneteenth Flag Raising at CAC

The County hosted its first Juneteenth flag raising event at the County Administration Center today. The flag will fly over the building through Monday, June 20, when the County will observe the holiday. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Today’s flag raising celebration was hosted by Chair Nathan Fletcher, the Office of Equity & Racial Justice, the African American Association of County Employees (AAACE) employee resource group and several community groups.
