Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Let us take time to recognize the significance of today and continue standing for equity and justice. MCPS offices are closed to honor this important day.

On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, there were still enslaved people in our country who finally received word they were free. Let us remember our history & continue to build a country where freedom rings for all. #Juneteenth #RiseTogether
