Henrico Celebrates June as Pride Month and Juneteenth. We invite everyone to visit the county’s MCE LGBTQIA2s+ Pride and Juneteenth webpages to learn more about Pride Month and Juneteenth.
Juneteenth
Juneteenth celebrates enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation reaching the westernmost Confederate state of Texas. The Proclamation went into effect in 1863, but this news was purposefully withheld from enslaved people until the arrival of Union troops in Galveston Bay, Texas on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day.
First flown in 2000, the Juneteenth flag was designed by Ben Haith, founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration.
