Welcome!
What is Juneteenth Week 2020?
Juneteenth Week 2020 is a week long celebration hosted by the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle, Black Lives Matter – Seattle/King County, Tabor 100 and the FW Black Collective.
Our purpose is to honor and remember a special milestone in black history: June 19, 1865. On this day, African Americans forced into slavery in the United States were officially and legally free (ish).
Interested in joining us? We’d love to have you! All of the events this week are free and open to the public.
There are three ways you can participate:
- Right Here: Come back to this page each day where we’ll post the virtual events for you to enjoy right here.
- YouTube: Join the celebration via the Juneteenth Week 2020 Youtube channel!
- Zoom: Events held via Zoom will have the meeting information included in the description! If you miss the live Zoom, don’t worry! We’ll post it here when it’s finished.
Specials events this week will occur in person. Specific details for these events are listed below.
Happy Juneteenth!
